Skills are reusable expertise that teach your Enterprise Search agent how to handle specific work — like generating slides, spreadsheets, or images. A skill is guidance and know-how, not a callable function: where a tool lets the agent do something, a skill shapes how it reasons and responds.
What is the Skills section?
The Skills table lists the skills attached to the Enterprise Search agent. Add ones from the shared skill library with Add skill.
How do I add a skill?
Use Add skill to open the picker, search the skill library, select one or more skills, and click Add. Only published skills can be attached — a skill has to be deployed before it shows up as available. If everything is already attached, or nothing is published yet, you'll see No skills to add — "Every skill is already added to this agent, or you haven't created any yet."
What's in the skills table, and how do I remove a skill?
Each row shows the Skill name, its Description, and its Version (a V{n} pill, or a dash if it's never been deployed). Hovering a row reveals a small external-link icon after the skill name: clicking it opens that skill's own editor in a new browser tab, so you can change the skill without losing your place in Enterprise Search. Clicking the row itself opens the read-only preview instead.
To detach a skill, use Remove on its row — the confirmation reads Remove skill? — "'{name}' will be removed from this agent. The skill itself won't be deleted." — so it stays available for other agents. If none are attached yet, the empty state reads No skills added yet — "Add reusable skills that teach this agent how to think and respond."
