How do I add or change a reusable agent skill?
Open Settings → Skills to manage your own reusable instructions. A saved skill gives agents a workflow or checklist they can use when its description matches the task.
Before you start
Write only instructions you want agents to use. Keep passwords and API keys out of skill text. A skill describes how to work; it does not grant account access or replace an integration connection.
Create or edit a skill
- Open the gear → See all settings → Skills.
- Click New skill.
- Enter a Name, a Description explaining when to use it, and the instruction body.
- Click Save. Use Search skills to find it again.
- Open an existing skill to edit it, or use Delete and confirm if it is no longer needed.
Saved changes are available to agents from their next turn. They do not rewrite an answer already in progress.
Why are some skills missing or generated?
This page manages your library, not the full set of bundled Codus skills. Their absence from this list does not mean they were removed.
For a new website build, the Brain and each builder must read the actual prerequisite skills in their own contexts. The main playbook coordinates those skills; merely loading it is not proof the others loaded. The core website search and brand-asset skills ship without an optional paid SEO pack. If a required file really is missing, the agent should name it after checking the installed catalogues and shipped bundle, rather than reconstructing it from a summary.
A custom integration can produce a generated skill. Edit the integration's documentation in Settings → Integrations when you want that source changed; saving the integration can overwrite a direct edit to its generated skill.
How do I know it worked?
The skill appears in the list with the intended description. On the next suitable task, ask the agent which instructions it used if you need confirmation.
