# Enable on-demand expertise with Agent Skills in Genkit Go

**[Google Developers](https://daily.dev/sources/googledevs)** · 12 min read · 7 upvotes · 1 comments

## Summary

Agent Skills is a standard for packaging specialized AI expertise into discoverable, on-demand capabilities that reduce token usage in LLM-based agents. Using progressive disclosure via SKILL.md files, agents load only the frontmatter initially and activate full skill bodies when needed. This post demonstrates how to integrate Agent Skills into Genkit Go applications using middleware, covering a recipe generator and a multimodal art restoration app that dynamically selects skills based on image type. Code samples show how to configure the Skills middleware with SkillPaths and best practices for production use.

> Did you measure how much context the art restoration flow saved with on-demand loading, or does it vary too much between runs?
