Skills
Give your agents new skills from the chat
Ask an agent to find, install or write a skill. It shows you what it is about to add, and nothing is saved until you confirm.
Search and install
Agents search skills.sh for candidates and install skills from public GitHub repositories or from a local folder, ZIP or TAR.GZ package.
Create skills in conversation
When nothing fits, an agent can write a new skill with a SKILL.md and its resources. You see the files before they are saved.
You approve every change
Installs and creations show the source, target agent and files, and wait for your confirmation. Same-name skills are not overwritten unless you agree.
- Install for the current agent or another agent on your account
- Run bundled Python or JavaScript scripts from enabled skills

Frequently asked questions
Can skills come from private repositories?
No. Douchat installs from public GitHub repositories and local packages.
Does installing a skill run its scripts?
No. Installing only saves the skill. Scripts run later, when an agent uses an enabled skill.
