Use and Manage Skills ​

A Skill is a reusable "how-to": it captures the standard way to do a kind of task as a document, so the agent can follow it when needed and work more consistently and expertly. This guide covers how to install Skills, let the agent use them, and how Skills relate to plugins.

To understand the concept first, see Skills.

Install a Skill ​

Skills can be installed in the following ways:

  1. Open the Skills page.
  2. Choose an install method:
    • From a zip archive: import a packaged Skill file.
    • From a directory: import a local Skill directory.
  3. After confirming, the Skill is installed and appears in your Skills list.

Once installed, you can see each Skill's name, description, and version in the list.

Let the agent use a Skill ​

After a Skill is installed, the agent will reference the relevant Skill for suitable tasks and follow its instructions. You usually don't need to specify it manually — describe the task clearly and it will invoke the relevant Skill on its own.

If you want to make sure a particular Skill is used, mention the scenario it handles in your task description so the agent maps to it more clearly.

How Skills relate to plugins ​

Skills can be installed on their own or distributed together with a plugin:

  • Standalone Skills: installed and managed as individual units.
  • Skills inside a plugin: a plugin is a larger packaging unit that can bundle several Skills, expert/team definitions, and MCP connection settings together. When you install a plugin, the Skills it carries are installed along with it.

When to use a plugin

A plugin is convenient when you want "a Skill plus its supporting capabilities" in one go; if you only want a single how-to document, install the Skill directly.

Result and verification ​

Seeing the Skill in your Skills list means it's ready. Then give it a related task and watch whether the agent follows the steps in the document to confirm it's working.
