    goal="Help with various tasks using built-in expertise",
    skills=skills,
)

​
Load Specific Skills with Task

from upsonic import Agent, Task
from upsonic.skills import Skills, BuiltinSkills

agent = Agent(
    model="anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6",
    name="Reviewer",
    role="Code Reviewer",
    goal="Review and summarize code changes",
)

task = Task(
    description="Summarize the key changes in this pull request.",
    skills=Skills(loaders=[BuiltinSkills(skills=["code-review", "summarization"])]),
)

result = agent.print_do(task)

​
Usage with Team

from upsonic import Agent, Task, Team
from upsonic.skills import Skills, BuiltinSkills

analyst = Agent(
    model="anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6",
    name="Data Analyst",
    role="Data Analysis Expert",
    goal="Analyze data and extract insights",
)

writer = Agent(
    model="anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6",
    name="Report Writer",
    role="Business Report Specialist",
    goal="Create professional summaries",
)

team = Team(
    agents=[analyst, writer],
    skills=Skills(loaders=[BuiltinSkills(skills=["data-analysis", "summarization"])]),
    mode="coordinate",
    model="anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6",
)

task = Task(description="Analyze Q4 sales data and write an executive summary.")
result = team.print_do(tasks=task)

​
List Available Skills

from upsonic.skills import BuiltinSkills

loader = BuiltinSkills()
print(loader.available_skills())
# ['code-review', 'data-analysis', 'summarization']

​
Combining with Other Loaders

Use built-in skills as a base and override with your own: 
from upsonic import Agent, Task
from upsonic.skills import Skills, BuiltinSkills, LocalSkills

skills = Skills(loaders=[
    BuiltinSkills(),                    # Base skills
    LocalSkills("./my-custom-skills"),  # Your overrides
])

agent = Agent(
    model="anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6",
    name="My Agent",
    role="Developer Assistant",
    goal="Assist with development tasks",
    skills=skills,
)

task = Task(description="Analyze this dataset and produce a summary report.")
result = agent.print_do(task)
If a custom skill has the same name as a built-in (e.g. code-review), the custom version overrides the built-in since later loaders take precedence.
