Installing a Skill

A skill does nothing until it’s installed. Whether it’s from the registry or one you built yourself, the process is the same:
  1. Go to the Skills page
  2. Browse or search for a skill in the sidebar
  3. Click on the skill to preview its content
  4. Click Install
The skill is now saved and available to all your agents.
If you want to modify a registry skill before installing, click Edit & Install instead. This opens the skill in an editor where you can tweak the name, description, or instructions before saving. You can always edit a skill after it’s installed too.

​
How Agents Use Skills

Once a skill is installed, agents will automatically use it when relevant. You don’t need to tell the agent about the skill or configure anything per-agent. Here’s what happens behind the scenes:
  1. Every installed skill’s name and description are always visible to the agent
  2. When you send a message, the agent scans those descriptions to see if any match your request
  3. If a skill matches, the agent loads its full instructions and follows them
For example, if you have the docx skill installed and you say “Create a project proposal as a Word document”, the agent will recognize the match from the skill’s description, load the full skill instructions, and follow them to produce the document. You don’t have to do anything — it just works.

​
Forcing a Skill with / Commands

Sometimes you want to guarantee the agent uses a specific skill for a message, rather than leaving it up to the agent’s judgment. That’s what / commands are for. In the chat input, type / to open the command picker. Your installed skills appear under the Skills category. Select one, and it gets attached to your message. When you send a message with a skill attached this way, the agent is forced to use that skill — its full content is injected into the conversation regardless of whether the agent would have triggered it on its own. This is useful when:
  • The agent isn’t picking up on a skill automatically (the description might need tuning)
  • You want to use a skill for a task that’s adjacent to its description but not an exact match
  • You want to be explicit about which skill guides the agent’s behavior
You can attach multiple skills to a single message by selecting more than one from the / picker. Each appears as a separate pill in the input.

​
Editing & Deleting Skills

From the Skills page, click on any skill under My Skills in the sidebar:
  • Edit (pencil icon) — Opens a dialog where you can update the name, description, command, or content
  • Delete (trash icon) — Removes the skill. Agents will no longer have access to it.
