Claude Managed Agents Now Automatically Load Custom Skills from Repositories

Anthropic's Claude Managed Agents can now automatically load custom skills defined in the `.claude/skills/` directory of attached repositories. This allows Managed Agent sessions to immediately inherit and use the same skills configured for Claude Code at startup. This update streamlines the developer workflow by enabling seamless reuse of custom prompts and tools across different Claude environments. It reduces configuration overhead when transitioning from local development with Claude Code to deploying agents at scale using Managed Agents. The integration works automatically at the start of a Managed Agent session, requiring no manual intervention if the `.claude/skills/` directory is already present in the attached repository. These skills are typically prompt-based instructions that orchestrate Claude's behavior using its built-in tools.

## BACKGROUND

Claude Managed Agents is a service on the Claude Platform designed to help developers build and deploy cloud-hosted AI agents at scale without managing infrastructure. Claude Code is Anthropic's agentic coding tool that operates in the terminal or IDE to edit files and run commands. Skills in this ecosystem are custom plugins or prompt-based instructions that extend Claude's capabilities for specific tasks like code reviews or debugging.
