How Skills Work

What's a Skill?

A Skill is a capability you give to an agent. It tells the agent what tool to use, how to use it, and what it can do on your behalf.

Every Skill has two parts:

• SKILL.md — plain-language instructions the agent reads to understand what the Skill does and how to use it
• Config — connection details, credentials, or settings specific to your setup

Two ways to add a Skill

Connect existing

If you already use a tool (Gmail, Stripe, Notion, GitHub, etc.), you connect it. The agent gets access to that tool and can act on it — reading, writing, sending, whatever the Skill supports.

Deploy with Coolify

Some Skills come with a self-hostable service. If you're self-hosting, you can spin these up with Coolify and point the Skill config at your own instance. Full control, no third-party dependency.

How the agent uses a Skill

Once a Skill is installed, the agent reads its SKILL.md automatically. It knows what the Skill does, when to use it, and how. You don't configure the agent's behavior manually — the Skill handles that.

Finding Skills

Browse the Skill Marketplace from your dashboard. Skills are tagged by agent, category, and whether they're Verified or Community-contributed.

Install in one click. Remove just as easily.
