# Introduction
> Turn any website or documentation into a skill your AI coding agent can use as context.
## What is skillmd?
**skillmd** takes any URL — a product site, an API reference, an SDK's docs, a design
system — and generates a `skill.md`: a clean, structured context file that AI coding
agents like **Claude Code**, **Cursor**, **Windsurf**, and any MCP-aware tool can load
to instantly understand that source.
Instead of pasting links into a chat and hoping the model fetches them, you give your
agent a precise, distilled brief it can rely on.
Paste a URL, pick a mode, and stream a ready-to-use `skill.md`.
Drop skills straight into your editor's rules with the `skillmd` CLI.
Browse skills the community has already generated and published.
Generate and fetch skills programmatically over MCP, CI, and more.
## Why skill files
A focused brief beats a raw page dump — less noise, fewer tokens, better answers.
One Markdown file works across every agent and editor that reads project context.
Re-generate whenever the source changes to keep your agent's context current.
## Where it works
skillmd meets your agent wherever it already lives:
| Surface | Use it for |
| ------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [Web app](https://getskillmd.com) | Generate, preview, and publish skills in the browser |
| [CLI](/docs/cli/installation) | Install skills into your IDE rule files and scaffold projects |
| [MCP server](/docs/integrations/mcp) | Let your agent generate and fetch skills on its own |
| [Editors & CI](/docs/integrations/editors) | VS Code, GitHub Actions, and a Figma plugin |
## Next steps
Generate your first skill in under a minute.
