Skills are reusable capability packages for Xpert agents. A skill gives an agent a focused set of instructions, supporting files, prompt workflows, scripts, templates, or task-specific behavior that can be installed once and reused across workspaces and agents. Use skills when a capability is repeatable but does not need a full tool integration. For example, a team can install a code review skill, a document co-authoring skill, a presentation skill, or an internal operating procedure skill, then let agents load those instructions only when the task needs them.

​
What Skills Provide

  • Reusable instructions: each skill is centered around a SKILL.md file that explains when and how the agent should use it.
  • Supporting resources: a skill can include scripts, references, templates, assets, or examples.
  • Workspace installation: installed skills live in a workspace and can be browsed, edited, uploaded, or removed from the workspace skills workbench.
  • Runtime enablement: agents can load selected skills through Skills Middleware and expose them to ChatKit runtime selection.
  • Organization sharing: workspace-uploaded skills can be shared to the organization skill market for other workspaces to install.
  • Repository discovery: administrators can connect skill repositories so teams can browse, search, install, and update skills from indexed sources.

​
Skill Lifecycle

  1. Discover skills in the skills market or repository indexes.
  2. Install a skill into a target workspace.
  3. Inspect and edit installed skill files in the workspace skills workbench.
  4. Enable selected skills when creating or configuring an agent.
  5. Run the agent. Skills Middleware syncs selected skills into the sandbox and adds concise skill metadata to the agent context.
  6. Share or administer skills through organization-level repositories and template synchronization.
