Skills are modular packages that turn your agent from a general-purpose assistant into a specialized one. You don't need to code - just describe what you want and the Skill Creator builds it for you. Each skill gets packaged as a portable .skill file you can install and share.
What You Can Do
API integration skills - Build skills that connect to any REST API (Stripe, Twilio, SendGrid, your internal APIs) with instructions for auth, endpoints, and workflows
CLI tool skills - Create skills for command-line tools (Docker, Terraform, kubectl, AWS CLI) with workflows, common patterns, and safety guardrails
Domain knowledge skills - Package company-specific knowledge (database schemas, business logic, coding standards, internal docs) so the agent works like a team member who knows your stack
Document processing skills - Skills for working with specific file formats (PDFs, DOCX, spreadsheets, images) with bundled scripts for reliable operations
Workflow automation skills - Multi-step procedures (deploy pipelines, code review checklists, data migration runbooks) with decision trees and guardrails
Frontend/app builder skills - Skills with boilerplate templates and project scaffolds so the agent can spin up apps, dashboards, or components in your preferred stack
Data & analytics skills - Skills for querying databases, building reports, or processing datasets with schema references and query patterns
DevOps skills - Infrastructure management, monitoring, incident response, and deployment workflows with safety checks built in
Try Asking
"Build me a skill for our Stripe integration that handles subscriptions, invoices, and refunds"
"Create a skill that knows our PostgreSQL schema and can write queries for our analytics tables"
"I need a skill for managing our Kubernetes deployments with rollback safety checks"
"Make a skill that generates PDF reports using our company template"
"Build a skill for our internal REST API - here's the OpenAPI spec"
"Create a code review skill that enforces our team's style guide and checks for common issues"
Pro Tips
You can include API docs, schemas, and reference material - the agent loads them only when needed
Bundled scripts (Python/Bash) run deterministically without consuming context window
Skills can include templates and boilerplate files the agent copies into new projects
The more specific your description, the better the skill triggers - tell it exactly when to activate
Test your skill on real tasks, then ask the Skill Creator to iterate based on what worked
Skills are portable .skill files - install them on any device or share with your team
