Skills

Skills are reusable instructions that specialize the AI assistant for specific tasks. They extend the assistant’s capabilities without requiring you to rewrite complex prompts every time.

Skills are managed in the left sidebar under Skills. Under My Skills, you can see all your skills at a glance.

Skills can also be assigned directly to an agent. Open the agent settings and enable the Skills toggle. By default, the agent has access to the full skill catalog.
