Install a skill
You can add a skill from the directory in a few ways:- In chat — click the + button next to the chat input, select Use a skill, and choose one. The skill applies to that message only, with nothing installed in your project.
-
In a project — open the Skills pane in the Project Editor, select the Discover tab, find a skill, and click Install. Installed skills live in your project’s
/.agents/skillsdirectory and persist across chats. -
From the command line — install a skill with the skills CLI:
Replit skills
Replit ships with pre-defined skills available from the Use a skill picker in chat and from the new-project starting-point picker. These work in every project without installation. Descriptions appear inline when you open the picker.Inside a workspace, the picker also discovers any additional skills installed in the project’s
.local/secondary_skills/ directory.Partner skills
Replit’s partners publish skills that teach Agent how to build with their products. Install one to give Agent the patterns and conventions for that service.Community skills
Beyond Replit and partner skills, the community publishes skills you can install. Browse them at skills.sh, and read the Agent Skills specification to write your own.Next steps
