Install and manage skills
Browse, scope, refresh, and read the Skills available to your agents.
Your agents are only as capable as the Skills they can reach. This page covers where Skills show up, how to tell them apart, how to add more, and how to refresh the list after a change.
Browse the skills available to an agent
Open Apps & Skills
From a Space, open the Apps & Skills view. Every Skill the agent can use is listed here.
Pick the agent
If the view isn't locked to a single agent, use the agent selector at the top to switch between agents and see the Skills each one has.
Filter by type
Use the All / Managed / Local tabs to narrow the list. Each card shows a type badge — Managed (from the Marketplace or a repo) or Local (built or kept in your workspace) — plus a source label: System, Local, or Global (space-shared).
Read a skill
Click any Skill to open its detail view: name, description, version, author, path, tags, and the full SKILL.md manifest. This is how you confirm exactly what a Skill does before relying on it.
Choosing scope
Scope is set by where a Skill lives, so you choose it when you install or create:
- Agent scope — the Skill sits in one agent's workspace. Use it for a workflow that belongs to a single specialist.
- Space scope — the Skill is shared across the Space, so every agent in the workspace can run it. Best for team-wide SOPs.
- System scope — reserved for the built-in Skills; always available, nothing to install.
Adding skills
- From the Marketplace — browse, then install into the agent or Space you choose. See Install skills.
- Build your own — use the Skill Creator to author a Local Skill directly in the workspace.
Updating and refreshing
After installing a Skill, importing one, or building one with the Skill Creator, click Refresh in the Apps & Skills view to rescan the agent's workspace and pick up the change. Managed Skills also track their source, so changes published upstream arrive the next time the Skill is installed or synced.
A Skill's manifest is read-only in this view. To change what a Skill does, edit its SKILL.md (for a Local Skill) or update it at the source repo (for a Managed Skill), then Refresh.
Permissions
A Skill runs with the tools its manifest declares (allowed-tools) inside the agent's own cloud computer — it can't reach beyond what that agent is already permitted to do. Space-scoped Skills are visible to every agent in the Space, so keep sensitive workflows at agent scope.
