Skills
Skills are focused instructions Agent Zero can load when a task needs them. Most of the time, you simply ask for the work and Agent Zero loads the matching skill on demand.
Open The Skills Selector
- Open a chat.
- Click the + button in the chat input area.
- Click Skills.
Add Or Remove A Skill
Click a skill to add it. Active skills appear at the top of the selector. To remove one, use the remove button in Active skills or uncheck it in the list.
Active skills are added to the Extras part of the system prompt, so Agent Zero sees them every turn while they are active.
When To Pin A Skill
Pin a skill when the current chat should keep following the same special procedure.
- Creating an Agent Profile.
- Reviewing a plugin.
- Following a writing format.
- Working with a repeated data-cleaning recipe.
- Keeping a project checklist visible during a long chat.
Keep the list short. Pin the skills you really want present all the time, and let Agent Zero load the rest only when it needs them.
Skills, Profiles, And Projects
| Skills | Add a specific procedure to the current prompt extras. |
|---|---|

Creating Skills
This page is about using skills in the Web UI. If you want to write or contribute one, put user-owned work under /a0/usr and use DeepWiki for Agent Zero for source-linked internals.
