Apple's new Siri AI dev framework officially adopts Markdown-based SKILL.md agent files
rudrank · x · 2026-11-04
- Apple's new Siri AI developer framework now officially uses skills, with SKILL.md agent files written in Markdown
- The body contains free-form instructions up to 10,000 characters guiding Siri on which intent to use per step, execution order, disambiguation, and what not to do
- Apple advises referring to intents informally (e.g. "call the get weather tool first" over GetWeatherIntent) and not repeating info already in App Intents metadata
The Claude Skills-style Markdown format is now spreading to Apple's ecosystem.
