Give an agent skills

Open in Agentum

Purpose

Kian has written down how Nilgoon's weekly summary should look, and he wants the agent to follow it only when someone asks for that summary. Give the agent skills, bundles of instructions it loads when a request matches them.

Before you start

The custom agent must belong to your current workspace, you need permission to manage agents, and the skill must be added to your workspace first (see "Add and manage skills"). A skill gives instructions only. It never grants tools.

Steps

  1. Open "Agents", find the agent under "My agents" and select it. In the window, open "Agent actions" (the three dots) and choose "Edit agent".
  2. Open "Skills". If it says "No installed skills", add one from the Skills page first. Use "Search installed skills" to filter by name, description or ID.
  3. Under "Installed skills", switch on each skill the agent may use. The agent uses each skill's description to decide when to read its instructions.
  4. A skill marked "Unavailable" was removed, disabled or lost access. Turn off an unavailable selected skill to remove it. If a "Remove" button is shown instead, select it.
  5. Select "Save".

Expected result

The agent can use the switched-on skills in later chats. Up to 100 skills can be selected.

Troubleshooting

Problem What to do
A skill is not in the list Installed skills and saved selections appear here. Disabled or inaccessible skills are marked "Unavailable" and cannot be saved as active selections. Add a missing skill from the Skills page.
"Save" says a skill is no longer accessible Turn off the skill marked "Unavailable" (or select "Remove" if shown) and save again.
