A light green suitcase with a blue luggage label which has an IntelliJ IDEA logo and the text "Luggage tagged. Code secured. JETBRAINS IDEs". Next to the suitcase is a black North Face backpack with several labels hanging off of it. One label reads "Unlocking productivity" next to an IntelliJ IDEA logo. There is also an NLJUG keychain in the shape of Duke.

AI-Assisted Java Application Development with Agent Skills | The IntelliJ IDEA Blog Agent Skills is a new initiative that solves both problems by managing context progressively and extending AI agent capabilities on demand.

This is a good post by @sivalabs.in : blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2026/03...

Overview - Agent Skills A simple, open format for giving agents new capabilities and expertise.

So the same devs who previously wouldn't write documentation are now out there writing skill.md files...?
