Skills Marketplace

Skills are pre-built capabilities you can add to your agents — think of them like installing apps on your phone. Each skill gives an agent a new ability, no coding required.

What Are Skills?

A skill is a ready-made package that teaches your agent how to do something specific. When you install a skill, your agent instantly gains that ability.

For example, installing the "Email Manager" skill lets your agent read and send emails. Installing "GitHub Reviewer" lets it review code pull requests. You don't need to configure anything yourself — the skill handles all the details.

What Kinds of Skills Are Available?

The marketplace has skills across many categories. Here are some popular ones:

  • Vector Memory — Gives your agent searchable long-term memory so it can recall past conversations by meaning, not just keywords
  • Dashboard Tools — Lets your agent create scheduled tasks (cron jobs), respond to webhooks, and manage to-do lists
  • File Management — Enables your agent to create, read, organize, and share files in its workspace
  • Web Browsing — Allows your agent to search the internet and read web pages to gather information
  • Email Manager — Connects your agent to Gmail so it can read, compose, and manage emails
  • GitHub Reviewer — Lets your agent review pull requests and leave comments on code

How to Browse Skills

Finding skills is easy. Just follow these steps:

  1. Go to your Dashboard
  2. Click "Skills" in the sidebar
  3. Browse the marketplace grid — each card shows the skill's name, description, and category
  4. Use the search bar to find skills by name or keyword
  5. Use the filter buttons to narrow by category, or show only installed or featured skills

How to Install a Skill

Once you find a skill you like, installing it takes just a few clicks:

  1. Click the skill card to open its detail page
  2. Read the description to make sure it's what you need
  3. On the right side, you'll see a list of your agents
  4. Click "Install" next to the agent you want to give this skill to
  5. The button changes to "Installed" with a checkmark — you're done!
Tip: You can install the same skill on multiple agents, or give different skills to different agents. For example, your researcher agent might get web browsing while your writer agent gets the SEO skill.

Managing Installed Skills

You can view, update, or remove skills at any time:

  • View installed skills — In the marketplace, installed skills show badges indicating which agents have them
  • Remove a skill — Open the skill's detail page and click "Uninstall" next to the agent. The skill is removed immediately
  • Update a skill — When a skill gets updated in the marketplace, you'll see an update option on the skill card

Some Skills Need API Keys

Some skills connect to external services (like Gmail, GitHub, or databases) and need an API key or token to work. These are stored securely as Secrets.

If a skill isn't working after installation, it probably needs an API key. Check the skill's detail page for requirements, then add the needed key in your Secrets settings.

Skills vs Templates

It's easy to confuse skills and templates, but they do very different things:

  • Skills add tools — they control what an agent can do (e.g., send emails, search the web, review code)
  • Templates define behavior — they control how an agent should act (e.g., personality, rules, communication style)

Think of it this way: a skill is like giving your agent a new tool (a hammer, a paintbrush). A template is like giving your agent instructions on when and how to use those tools.
