# Skills Overview

> Lightweight, reusable AI tools you invoke inline in any chat using @skill-name.

## What are Skills?

Skills are lightweight, single-purpose AI tools you invoke directly in any chat using the `@skill-name` trigger. Type `@` in the chat prompt bar, and a picker appears showing all your available skills — select one, add your content, and the skill runs instantly.

Unlike Custom Agents (which are full conversation configurations you chat with at `/agents`), skills are one-shot tools designed for a specific repeatable task: summarize this, translate that, review this code, check this grammar.

**The key difference:**

|                 | Skills                       | Custom Agents                           |
| --------------- | ---------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| **What it is**  | A single-purpose inline tool | A full saved conversation configuration |
| **How to use**  | Type @skill-name in any chat | Go to /agents and start a chat          |
| **Persistence** | Invoked per message          | Full ongoing conversation               |
| **Best for**    | Repetitive single tasks      | Specialized ongoing assistants          |

## How to Invoke a Skill

1. In any chat (including project chats), type **@** in the prompt bar
2. A skill picker dropdown appears — continue typing to filter by name
3. Select a skill
4. Type or paste the content you want the skill to act on
5. Send

**Examples:**

```
@summarize Here is the article I need summarized: [paste text]
```

```
@translate-to-spanish Please convert this: Hello, how are you today?
```

```
@explain-code [paste code here]
```

```
@grammar-check Please fix: The team are working hard to completed the project on time.
```
