Agent Settings: Skills

Overview

The Skills panel assigns reusable skills to an agent. The panel header reads: "Manage agent skill assignments for your mentor" (the UI's exact wording), and the helper text explains: "Skills are reusable capabilities you build once and assign to any agent. Create a skill, then toggle it on to give this agent that ability."

Skills live at the organization level: you define a skill once (name, slug, description, version, and instruction text) and can then assign it to any number of agents. Each skill appears as a card with its name, a version badge (for example, v1.0.0), an assignment toggle, and an overflow ("...") menu for managing the skill itself.

To reach this screen, open the Edit Agent modal, stay on the Configurations tab group, and select Skills in the left sidebar.

Administrator | Agent Builder

Panel Reference

New Skill

Opens the skill-creation dialog. Name and Slug are required; you can also provide a description, a version (defaults to 1.0.0), and the skill's instruction text — the behavior the skill adds when assigned to an agent. Newly created skills are enabled on creation, and a "Skill created" confirmation appears.

Skill cards

Each card lists a skill available in the organization, with its name and version (the screenshot shows Web Research v1.0.0 and Image Creation v1.0.0). The card's toggle controls the skill's assignment to this agent: on means the agent has the skill (Web Research in the screenshot), off means it does not (Image Creation).

Assignment toggle

Toggling on creates a skill assignment for this agent; toggling off removes it. Because skills are shared, toggling here only affects this agent's assignment — the skill itself remains available to other agents.

Overflow ("...") menu

Actions for the underlying skill, including editing its definition (name, slug, description, version, instruction) and deleting it. Editing or deleting a skill affects it organization-wide, not just for this agent; deleting shows a "Skill deleted" confirmation.

How to Use

Step 1: Open the Skills panel

Open the Edit Agent modal, keep Configurations selected, and click Skills in the sidebar.

Step 2: Create a skill (if needed)

Click New Skill, fill in at least the required Name and Slug, add a description and instruction text describing the capability, and save. The skill becomes available to every agent in the organization.

Step 3: Assign skills to this agent

Toggle on each skill this agent should have — for example, Web Research for an agent that should research on the web. The assignment takes effect for this agent's conversations.

Step 4: Maintain skills

Use the "..." menu to edit a skill's definition or delete it. Remember these actions apply organization-wide; to remove a capability from just this agent, use the toggle instead.
