Skills for Rovo Agents EAP

What’s changing

The new rovo:skill module allows you to package reusable, task-specific instructions and supporting reference files within your Forge app. You can add these skills to Forge Rovo agents through the app manifest.

Key features include:

• Tool orchestration: Skills can declare Forge action modules as tool dependencies, allowing them to coordinate multiple actions into a complete workflow.
• Rovo Studio integration: Forge Rovo skills will also be available to custom agents in Rovo Studio. This capability will roll out progressively over the week following this announcement.
• Dynamic selection: At runtime, an agent selects a skill based on its description and the user’s request.

During the EAP, the following limitations apply:

• Apps that declare rovo:skill can only be deployed to development environments.
• Skill-to-skill dependencies are not supported.
• Executable skill sources, including scripts, are not supported.
• A skill directory must not exceed 100 MB uncompressed.
• Tool dependencies must be action modules declared by the same app.
