Agent Skill Export
Agent Skill Export generates a SKILL.md file from the files you select in Q and packages it into a downloadable skill folder. The resulting export is designed for Claude Code and other tools that support the open Agent Skills format.
What It Does
Q builds a single generated skill from your selected content:
- It creates one
SKILL.md - It combines the selected Q files into one structured skill document
- It includes frontmatter with a generated skill name and description
- It gives you a preview before download
- It can provide a one-click Cursor deeplink when the generated skill is small enough
If you want to learn more about the format itself, see Agent Skills.
How It Works
Open Agent Skill Export
In the export area, open the Agent Skill Export section.
Select the files to include
Choose the files you want to turn into a skill. The selector works like the other export flows: exportable files are preselected by default, and mission boards include their mission items automatically.
Preview the generated SKILL.md
Click Preview to inspect the generated skill content before exporting.
Download the skill folder
Click Download Skill Folder to get a ZIP containing the generated skill
folder and SKILL.md.
Selection Behavior
The selector follows the same rules as the other export builders:
- All exportable markdown files and mission boards are selected by default
- Mission body files are not shown as separate top-level choices
- Selecting a mission board includes all of its mission items automatically
- Internal files like
manifest.jsonare excluded - If nothing is selected, export and preview are disabled
Generated Output
Q generates a single skill document with:
- YAML frontmatter
- A generated
nameprefixed withheyq- - A generated description for the selected project
- A
When to use this skillsection - A combined
Project Contextsection built from the selected files
Markdown files are included directly, while mission boards are converted into markdown with their board metadata and included mission items.
Download Structure
The ZIP contains a folder like this:
heyq-your-project/
SKILL.mdThe ZIP filename is based on the project name, for example:
heyq-your-project-skill.zipPreview and Installation
- Preview shows the generated
SKILL.mdcontent in a dialog - Add to Cursor is available when the generated skill fits within Cursor's deeplink size limits
- Download Skill Folder is the fallback for larger skills and the primary export method
Keep the selection focused. A smaller, purpose-built skill is usually more useful than a giant export containing everything in the project.
Agent Skill exports are static snapshots. Re-export the skill whenever your
content in Q changes and you want the generated SKILL.md to stay current.
