What are Skills?

Skills are pre-built analytical workflows your agent can run on top of its core job. Unlike the agent's main work (answering tickets, writing posts), skills are distinct multi-step processes with their own logic and output artifacts.

A skill is NOT:

• A single tool call (that's just a tool)

• The agent's core behavior (that emerges from instructions + integrations)

A skill IS:

• A distinct workflow with multiple steps

• Has its own process and branching logic

• Produces its own output artifact (report, analysis, draft articles)

Skills work either with the default settings, or with your additional instructions added in the text field, to extract the information you need to generate a report, or other output, based on the agent's knowledge and instructions.

You can add skills by clicking the plus button on the bottom left of the eesel dashboard.
