Skills
Create and manage reusable instruction sets for your AI agent.
Overview
Skills are reusable instruction sets that teach your agent how to perform specific tasks. Each skill contains a name, description, and detailed markdown instructions that the agent follows when the skill is activated.

- Click Create Skill
- Fill in the required fields:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | A kebab-case identifier (e.g., code-review) |
| Emoji | An icon for the skill |
| Description | A one-line summary of what the skill does |
| Instructions | Detailed markdown instructions the agent will follow |
Managing Skills
