A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md inside it: a name, a description of when to use it, and Markdown instructions. The agent loads a skill on its own when the work matches, or you can invoke it by name in chat. Open Settings → Providers, select a provider, and open Skills. Hermes Agent, Oh My Pi, Devin, Pi, Reasonix, and Antigravity have no Skills tab. The location picker at the top chooses whether you are managing skills for every workspace on the host (Global) or for one workspace.

​
Import Skills

Click Add skill. The dialog starts with an import step.
1

Paste a source

In Skill source, paste an npx skills command, an owner/repo, a git or tree URL, or a folder path. Then click Add skill.
2

Pick the skills

The host clones or copies the source and lists every SKILL.md it finds. Select the ones you want. Selecting a skill you already have replaces it with the version from this source.
3

Install

Click Install N skills.

​
Write A Skill

In the Add skill dialog, choose “or write one from scratch”.
  1. Enter a Name. Use lowercase letters, digits, and hyphens, for example review-pr. The name becomes the folder name and the command you type in chat.
  2. Enter a Description. The agent reads it to decide when to use the skill.
  3. Write the Markdown Instructions.
  4. Choose who can use it under Available to:
    • Every provider stores the skill once in the shared skills folder, where any agent that reads it picks it up.
    • The provider’s own option, for example Claude Code only, stores it in that provider’s own skills folder.
  5. Click Create skill.
The dialog shows where the skill will be saved. To switch back to importing, choose “or import an existing one”.

​
Skill List

Badges show where each skill comes from. Use the filter menu to show or hide each type. Open a skill to see its Name, When to use, Source, and Instructions. From there you can Edit it and Save changes, Remove it, or, for an imported skill, Update from source. If you edited an imported skill, updating asks before it overwrites your edits.

​
Use A Skill In Chat

Type / or $ in the composer to open the same picker.
  • At the start of a message, the picker lists skills and the coding agent’s own commands.
  • Later in a message, it lists skills only.
You can use several skills in one message. For example, a skill named release-notes is /release-notes. Skills and Plugins are separate tabs. Plugins install from a source string; see Plugins.
