Skills are modular capabilities that extend what your Neotask agents can do. Think of them as plugins -- each skill adds a specific ability, from sending emails to controlling smart home devices to running CI/CD pipelines.
| Type | Description | |------|-------------| | Built-in | Always available to every agent. These cover core operations like file management, shell execution, and web requests. No installation required. | | Marketplace | Installable from the Neotask skill catalog. Browse, install, and configure with a few clicks. | | Custom | User-authored skills that you write yourself. Define your own logic, API integrations, and workflows. |
Each skill declares how it authenticates with external services:
| Auth Mode | Description | |-----------|-------------| | OAuth | Browser-based authorization flow. You sign in to the third-party service and grant Neotask access. Tokens are managed automatically. | | API Key | Enter an API key or secret token. The key is stored encrypted and injected at runtime. | | Local App | The skill connects to an application running on your local machine (e.g., Signal Desktop, iMessage). | | None | No authentication required. The skill operates without external credentials. |
Skills are organized into six categories:
Tools for managing files, notes, and tasks.
Integrations for email, chat, and SMS platforms.
Processing and generation for images, video, and audio.
Device control and home automation.
Tools for coding, building, and deploying software.
Analytics, scraping, and data processing.

- Required environment variables
- Required companion skills
After installation, you may need to configure the skill:
Skills are not automatically available to all agents. After installing a skill:
This gives you fine-grained control over what each agent can and cannot do.
All API keys and secrets are stored encrypted at rest. Keys are decrypted only at runtime when the skill needs them, and they are never exposed in logs, session history, or API responses.
To manage API keys:
Some skills require environment variables to function. These are set per skill and injected into the skill's execution environment.
For skills that use OAuth authentication:
Each skill declares its dependencies, which may include:
git, node, ffmpeg).Neotask verifies these dependencies at install time and warns you if any are missing. You can also re-check dependencies at any time from the skill's settings.
