Skill Sets

Skill Sets are collections of custom skills — specific actions your AI agent can perform beyond conversation. Skills let your agent fetch data, integrate with external services, and run custom workflows.

What Skill Sets do

Group related skills: Bundles of actions your AI can perform
Add custom functionality: Extend your AI with specific capabilities
Are reusable: Share and install across workspaces
Are version-controlled: Track changes and updates
Require configuration: Set up before use

Why use Skill Sets

Skill Sets let your AI:

Perform actions: Execute tasks like checking orders or booking appointments
Integrate services: Connect with external APIs
Run custom workflows: Build specialized conversation flows
Go beyond Q&A: Add functionality past knowledge-based answers
Automate tasks: Handle complex operations automatically

What skills can do

Skills within a Skill Set can:

Fetch data: Retrieve information from external sources
Perform actions: Create, update, or delete data
Integrate APIs: Connect with third-party services
Process information: Transform and analyze data
Trigger workflows: Kick off complex processes

Skill Set structure

A Skill Set typically contains:

Name and description: What the Skill Set does
Multiple skills: Individual actions within the set
Configuration: Settings required for operation
