Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
Mintlify documentation sites now include a standardized skill.md file for AI coding agents, implementing an open standard for agent skills. Users can customize these skill files to better guide AI agents like Claude Code, OpenCode, and Cursor when working with their documentation. The article explains how Mintlify users can replace the auto-generated skill.md file with their own custom version to tailor agent behavior to their specific needs and preferences.
