Give your agents an instant upgrade. Agent Skills let you drop specialized knowledge and workflows directly into any agent — no rebuilding, no reprompting. In just a few steps, you can equip your agents with pre-built skills from the library or craft your own to match exactly how your team works.

​

There are two ways to install the Skills Manager Toolkit:
1

Open your agent's configuration

​
Create a Custom Skill

To create a new skill, open the Skills section and click Create Skill. Fill in the following fields:
1

Name

Enter a unique identifier for your skill using lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only (1–64 characters). Leading, trailing, or consecutive hyphens are not allowed.
e.g. github-ops
See Agent Skills name rules for the full naming specification.
2

Description

Write a clear explanation of what the skill does and when to use it. Include keywords that agents can match on — this text is what the agent reads during the Discovery stage to decide whether to activate the skill. Description must be between 1–1024 characters and cannot be empty.
See Agent Skills description rules for guidance on writing effective descriptions.
3

Triggers

Add one or more keywords or /regex/ patterns that will activate this skill. Press Enter or comma after each trigger to add it. Triggers are optional — if left empty, the skill will only activate via the Always On setting (see below).
e.g. code review, review my code, /review\s+PR/i
4

Content

Write the skill instructions in markdown. This is the full SKILL content loaded into the agent’s context when the skill is activated. Be specific — step-by-step instructions with clear formatting produce the most reliable agent behavior.
# My Skill
When asked to do X:
1. First, do Y
2. Then, do Z
5

Allowed Tools

Click Select tools to choose which agent toolkits this skill is permitted to use (e.g. knowledge base, web search, database). If no tools are selected, the skill runs on the agent’s context alone.
6

Category

Select a category from the dropdown to organize the skill in the library. Defaults to None if left unset.
7

Always On (optional)

Toggle Always On to inject this skill’s instructions into every conversation turn, regardless of whether a trigger keyword is matched. Use this for skills that should apply globally, such as tone guidelines or compliance rules.
8

Create

Once all required fields are filled in, click Create to save the skill and make it available to your agents.
