The Drift desktop app finds the SKILL.md files other coding agents keep on your computer and lets your Drift agent use the ones you switch on.
What the desktop app finds. The app looks in the folders where Claude Code, Codex and similar agents keep skills, including the plugins Claude Code has switched on. Each skill shows on Customize, under Skills, with its own switch. The Drift agent searches and reads the skills you leave on. A search sends names and descriptions to the agent and a read sends that skill’s text, and both can stay in the chat history. Nothing else leaves the computer.
What it cannot do. Drift reads a skill’s instructions but cannot run its scripts, and it only ever opens a file named exactly SKILL.md.
"Use my release-notes skill to write up this week." — The agent finds the skill on your computer, reads its instructions and follows them.
