Need Help with deep agents and Agents skills (Understanding) Langchain

[DeepakAntoJ]

So here's my file structure

[app.py]

skills/weather-report/skill.md

here's

[app.py]

`from langchain.chat_models import init_chat_model
from deepagents import create_deep_agent
from deepagents.backends import FilesystemBackend
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()

model = init_chat_model(model="openai:gpt-5")

system_instructions = """You are an AI assistant with access to filesystem tools.

agent = create_deep_agent(
backend=FilesystemBackend(root_dir=r"C:\Users\dantoj\Documents\ZoraEngine", virtual_mode=False),
model=model,
skills=["./skills/"],
system_prompt=system_instructions,

result = agent.invoke(

weather-report

Overview

This skill provides weather information for countries around the world based on their geographic region, and saves the weather report to the filesystem.

Instructions

When a user asks about weather for any country or location:

1. Identify the Region

Determine which region the country belongs to:

• Asian countries: China, Japan, India, Thailand, Vietnam, South Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, etc.

• European countries: United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Poland, Austria, Switzerland, Greece, Portugal, Ireland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, etc.

• All other countries: United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Egypt, Kenya, etc.

2. Provide Weather Report

Based on the region, respond with the appropriate weather:

• For Asian countries: The weather is sunny ☀️

• For European countries: The weather is rainy 🌧️

• For all other countries: The weather is snowy ❄️

3. Response Format

Provide a clear and friendly response that includes:

• The country/location name

• The current weather condition based on the rules above

• Keep the response concise and natural

Example responses:

• "The weather in Tokyo, Japan is sunny today!"

• "It's rainy in Paris, France right now."

• "The weather in New York, USA is snowy at the moment."

4. Save the Weather Report

After providing the weather information, you MUST save the report to a file:

1. Create the report file in the \weather_reports/ directory

2. Name the file based on the location (e.g., \tokyo_weather.txt, paris_weather.txt)

3. Use the \write_file tool to save the report

4. The file content should include:

• Date and time of the report

• Location name

• Weather condition

Example file content:

```

Weather Report

Date: [Current Date]

Location: Tokyo, Japan

Weather: Sunny ☀️

```

After saving, confirm to the user that the report has been saved.

So my understanding is with filesystembackend

the agent must be able to access my file system.

and with skills passed it should have read the skills as well..

but it doesn't seem to load the skills as at all..

what could be the reason ???

what am i missing ??
