Agent Skills

Agent Skills are self-contained playbooks that teach an AI agent how to use EMCP Tools for a specific job: page building, block editing, theme building, auditing, and more. As of v3.2.0 there are two ways to use them: install them locally in your AI client, or let a connected MCP agent discover and load them at runtime.

The bundled skills

The bundle ships 7 skills:

Skill	Covers
`emcp-skills`	Elementor page building (includes industry packs).
`emcp-gutenberg`	The WordPress block editor.
`emcp-themer`	The builder-agnostic theme builder.
`emcp-performance`	Performance auditing.
`emcp-security`	Security & malware scanning.
`emcp-seo-a11y`	SEO & accessibility.
`emcp-php-snippets`	The human-gated PHP snippet sandbox.

Two ways to use them

1. Install locally in your AI client

Download the bundle from EMCP Tools → Skills in the WordPress admin and follow the per-client install guides on that tab. Once installed, your client loads the skill instructions from disk. This works with any client and doesn’t depend on the MCP connection.

2. Load them at runtime (Pro)

A connected MCP agent can discover and load the skills over the MCP connection, no local install needed. This is powered by two read-only Pro tools:

Tool	Purpose
`list-skills`	Catalog of the available skills, with a `search` filter.
`get-skill`	Load one skill’s full instructions by slug.

A ## Skills catalog is also injected into the MCP discovery context, so the agent sees a compact menu of the skills the moment it connects, then pulls a full playbook with get-skill only when a task matches. This is progressive disclosure: the agent carries a small menu at all times and loads a heavy, detailed playbook only on demand.

Runtime exposure is Pro-only and requires the MCP server to be enabled.

The Agent Skills module

Runtime skill exposure is controlled by the Agent Skills module on the EMCP Tools → Modules tab (Pro, on by default).

Turning the module off:

removes the list-skills and get-skill tools, and
removes the ## Skills injection from the discovery context (reclaiming its token footprint).

It does not affect the local Skills download. You can still grab the bundle from the Skills tab and install it in your client regardless of the module’s state.
