🆕 Skills: Share Expertise Across All Your Agents

🎯 What is it?

Skills is a new capability that allows you to package instructions, knowledge, and tools into reusable modules. Once created, any agent in your workspace can access these Skills. When you update a Skill, all agents using it automatically benefit from the improvement—no need to manually update each agent.

💡 Why is it useful?

If you're building multiple agents for your team, you've probably noticed yourself copying and pasting the same instructions or configurations over and over. Skills solves this problem by letting you define something once and share it everywhere. It's designed to help builders spread their expertise efficiently and improve the agent-building experience for everyone in your workspace.

⚙ How does it work?

You create a Skill by bundling together specific instructions, relevant knowledge sources, and tools. Once created, any agent can be equipped with that Skill. If you refine or update the Skill later, every agent using it instantly improves.

✨ Concrete Use Cases

Here's how you could use it:

Standardized research methodology: Create a "Market Research" Skill that includes your company's research framework, access to your research databases, and web search tools. Every agent tasked with research will follow the same rigorous process.

Consistent brand voice: Build a "Brand Communication" Skill containing your tone of voice guidelines, brand vocabulary, and approved messaging. All customer-facing agents will automatically maintain your brand standards.

Domain expertise: Package your team's specialized knowledge—like "Financial Analysis," "Legal Compliance," or "Technical Support"—so any agent can leverage expert-level capabilities without you rebuilding the context each time.

📈 Benefits for you

Save time: Build once, use everywhere—no more duplicating work across agents
Maintain consistency: Ensure all agents follow the same standards and best practices
Scale expertise: Share specialized knowledge across your entire workspace
Effortless updates: Improve all your agents at once by updating a single Skill
