--- title: "Creating and Importing a Skill" canonical: https://trickest.com/docs/using-the-app/agent/creating-a-skill description: "Create a blank skill or import one from a URL into the Agent library." --- # Creating and Importing a Skill ## Before you start A [Skill](/docs/key-concepts/agent/skills) is reusable instructions for a type of task. You add one under **Settings > Agent > Knowledge**, then select the **Skills** tab. After you save or import it, the skill is in the library and the Agent can use it. Select Skills under Knowledge to manage the Agent skill library. ## Create a blank skill Select **New skill**, then **Create blank skill**. An empty list offers **Create your first skill** instead. Under **Properties**, enter **Name** and **Key**. **Name** is the label you see in the list. **Key** is the identifier for that skill, and it has to be unique in the library. **Description** is optional. Write the instructions in **SKILL.md**. Those instructions might say how to review a workflow's files and which details the report should include. Select **Save**. The skill appears in the list. ## Import from a URL Select **New skill**, then **Import from URL**. Paste a URL to a **SKILL.md** file or a GitHub directory, then select **Import**. The skill is added to the same library. If the import fails, check that the address points at the skill file or directory, and try again. ## Change a skill Open a skill you created and edit it, then select **Save**. A built-in skill is read-only. **Fork to Edit** makes a copy you can change. The original stays as it was. --- _Markdown source of https://trickest.com/docs/using-the-app/agent/creating-a-skill._
