What are skills?
Skills are installable capabilities that define what an agent can do. Think of them as the agent's "toolbox". An Executive Secretary with the Calendar skill can manage appointments; add the Email skill and it can also handle correspondence.
| Skill Type | Examples | Token Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Core | Chat, Task Queue | Included |
| Standard | Calendar, Email, CRM | Low overhead |
| Advanced | NLP Engine, Analytics | Medium overhead |
| Custom | Your own skills | Varies |
Installing skills
- Open Agent Detail → Skills → Browse Marketplace

Some skills require a service pairing (e.g., Calendar skill needs Google Calendar). The install flow will guide you through any required pairings.
