A skill is a reusable set of instructions an agent can pull in when it's relevant — for example, "how we write commit messages" or "our API conventions." You manage them at **Settings → Skills**.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To install ready-made skills instead of writing your own, see [Skills Catalog](/skills-catalog/).
|

|
## Create a skill
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Open **Settings → Skills**.
|
||
|
|
2. Create a skill and give it a name and a short description. The description is how the agent decides when the skill applies, so make it specific.
|
||
|
|
3. Write the instructions. Add supporting files if the skill needs them.
|
||
|
|
4. Choose where it lives:
|
||
|
|
- **personal** — available in every project
|
||
|
|
- **project** — available only in the current project
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Use a skill in chat
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Type `/` in the middle of a message to bring up the skill picker, then choose one. The agent loads that skill's instructions for the response.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A `/` at the very start of the message opens [commands](/commands-snippets/) instead.
