1.6How the Agent Uses the Skill at Runtime

Here's what happens when you say "Go to example.com and take a screenshot":

1. User: "Go to example.com and take a screenshot"

2. The agent reads available skills → finds the browser skill description matches

3. The agent invokes: Skill(skill="playwright-cli")

4. System injects SKILL.md content into conversation context

5. The agent now knows the full command surface

6. The agent executes via Bash:
   → playwright-cli open https://example.com
   → playwright-cli screenshot

7. The agent reports: "Done. Screenshot saved to .playwright-cli/screenshot.png"

The key insight: steps 1-5 happen transparently. The user never sees the SKILL.md. They just see the agent driving a browser.
