Skills

A skill is a structured set of instructions, scripts, references, and assets that an AI agent can load on demand, following the Agent Skills specification. Open it from Build > Skills.

The list page is your organization's inventory of skills. Skills can be assigned to groups, synced from GitHub, and bundled into plugins.

Skills list with Org Skills and User Skills scope tabs, a search field, Skills Settings and Add Skill buttons, and columns for Name, Slug, Content, Groups, Owner, and Status

Scopes

Two tabs at the top of the list switch between scopes, each showing a count:

ScopeContents
Org SkillsSkills owned by the organization. These can be published, assigned to groups, and wrapped as plugins.
