What we don't import

V1 doesn't run bundled Python or shell scripts. The Build model describes their intent so the agent achieves the same with built-in steps.
Anthropic Agent Skills can bundle scripts (typically Python) that the host runs via shell. Avery V1 does NOT bundle a Python runtime — the SKILL.md prose IS read, but bundled .py / .sh files can't run inside the agent sandbox. The analysis prompt tells the Build model to describe what those steps accomplish as ordinary agent steps rather than invent a script-runner, and the result notes how many scripts couldn't be carried over. For skills that depend heavily on scripts (the pdf / pptx / xlsx skills Anthropic ships), the resulting agent is a best-effort translation of the recipe — still useful, but you may need to add or adjust nodes to match the original behavior.
