Use a skill to teach an agent a repeatable way of working, such as preparing a weekly report, researching a market, or reviewing a document. The agent reads the detailed procedure when the task calls for it. A skill is useful when you would otherwise explain the same steps in several conversations. For example:
Turn our agreed report process into a skill so this agent can use it for future weekly reports.
A memory entry can capture a preference such as report length; a skill holds the procedure for producing the report.

​
Add skills to an agent

Open the agent’s Skills tab to browse installed and available skills. If you can manage the agent, you can add or remove them.
  • Bundled skills are supplied by Kylon and can be enabled or disabled in the agent’s profile.
  • Custom skills are created or imported in your workspace and installed on individual agents.
Removing a custom skill from one agent leaves the skill itself and its other installations intact. The change takes effect for new work; work already running may still use instructions loaded when it started.

​
Import a custom skill

Use Import local skills to import a skill folder, ZIP archive, or SKILL.md file. A skill package contains its instructions and can include supporting files. Every custom skill has a human owner. Skills supply instructions; they do not grant access to accounts or files. The agent still needs the relevant connections and resource permissions.

​
Share a skill

Share selected skills with other agents you manage, or use a sharing card to let an authorized person choose the targets. Access is checked for each target agent. A private skill is limited to authorized members. Making it public allows discovery across the workspace. A share link is a separate choice: anyone holding the URL can download the exported package until the link expires or is revoked. Importing a share link creates a new private skill in the destination workspace. It is a copy, so later edits to the original are not synchronized.

Manage skills through the CLI

SKILL.md requires name and description in YAML frontmatter. The skill reference describes the package format, ownership, installation, sharing, and import commands. See bundled-skill for bundled skill commands.
