# Skills

> Reusable capability packs for Agents.

A **Skill** is a curated bundle of prompt fragments + preferred tools + example flows that gives an Agent focused expertise (e.g., "sales-analyst", "recruiter", "SRE").

## Where they live

**AI Studio → Skills**.

## Anatomy

* **Name & description** — displayed on the Agent editor.
* **System prompt fragment** — appended to the Agent's base instructions when this skill is selected.
* **Preferred tools** — the tools this skill knows how to use well.
* **Example prompts** — optional, seed the agent's few-shot examples.

## When to build one

Build a Skill when:

* You'll create multiple Agents that all need the same domain knowledge.
* You want to encode "how our team does X" in one place.
* A recurring flow pattern would benefit from a reusable prompt.

## When not to

Don't build a Skill for a one-off Agent — just write the system prompt directly on the Agent.
