What are Skills?
Skills are lightweight, single-purpose AI tools you invoke directly in any chat using the@skill-name trigger. Type @ in the chat prompt bar, and a picker appears showing all your available skills — select one, add your content, and the skill runs instantly.
Unlike Custom Agents (which are full conversation configurations you chat with at /agents), skills are one-shot tools designed for a specific repeatable task: summarize this, translate that, review this code, check this grammar.
The key difference:
| Skills | Custom Agents | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A single-purpose inline tool | A full saved conversation configuration |
| How to use | Type @skill-name in any chat | Go to /agents and start a chat |
| Persistence | Invoked per message | Full ongoing conversation |
| Best for | Repetitive single tasks | Specialized ongoing assistants |
How to Invoke a Skill
- In any chat (including project chats), type @ in the prompt bar
- A skill picker dropdown appears — continue typing to filter by name
- Select a skill
- Type or paste the content you want the skill to act on
- Send
