[Advent of Agents] Day 6: ADK Skills

[abraha...@google.com]

Hi everyone,

Day 6 of Google's Advent of Agents — Season 2 is now live!

Stop wasting thousands of tokens on bloated system prompts by implementing progressive disclosure for your agent's instructions. ADK Skills allow your agents to stay lightweight by fetching complex rules, style guides, and API references only when they are actually needed.

Today's Highlights:

• Implement L1-L3 progressive disclosure to keep system prompts lean and focused.
• Use ADK SkillToolset to auto-register tools for listing, loading, and referencing specific capabilities on demand.
• Flexible integration options ranging from local SKILL.md files to meta-skills that generate instructions dynamically.
