Skills in Studio is where you upload, manage, and share reusable skill packages across your workspace. Once uploaded, a skill is available to any agent in the workspace through the Agent Builder. If you want to understand what skills are and how they work conceptually, see Skills.

​
Upload a skill

Skills are packaged as a zip file or a GitHub repository. Each skill must contain a SKILL.md file at the root that defines its interface and behavior.
  1. Go to Skills in the Studio sidebar and select Create New.
  2. Choose how to add the skill:
    • Upload zip: drag and drop or select a .zip file from your computer.
    • GitHub repo: paste the repository URL and branch name.
  3. Lyzr validates the SKILL.md and displays the skill name, description, and parameters.
  4. Save. The skill is now available workspace-wide.

​
Create a skill from the agent builder

You can also create a skill from inside the agent builder, on the same page where you create global contexts, without leaving the agent you are building. See Create global contexts and skills from the builder.

​
Share a skill with your team

You can share a skill with one or more members of your team, so they can use it in their own agents. Build a skill once and share it with the people who need it, instead of each person uploading their own copy. To share a skill:
  1. Open the menu on the skill’s card and select Share.
  2. Under Invite people, search for the team members to share with.
  3. Choose the access level. Edit lets a person modify and delete the skill. View lets a person use the skill in their own agents without changing it.
  4. Select Invite.
The Shared with list shows everyone who has access, with the skill’s creator listed as Owner. To change someone’s access, use the Access dropdown on their row. To remove someone’s access, select the delete icon in the Action column.
A shared skill runs using your connected credential. People you share it with run it under your credential, not their own.

​
Lyzr built-in skill library

Lyzr provides a library of pre-built skills covering common patterns: web search, summarization, data extraction, code execution, and more. These appear in the skill selector without requiring you to upload anything.

​
Attach a skill to an agent

  1. Open the agent in the Agent Builder.
  2. Scroll to the Skills section and select Add.
  3. Choose from your uploaded skills or from the built-in skill library.
  4. Add any required skill instructions that tell the agent when and how to use this skill.
  5. Save the agent.

​
Update or remove a skill

To update a skill, re-upload a new version of the zip or push to the connected GitHub branch and trigger a refresh in Studio. All agents using the skill pick up the updated version automatically. To remove a skill from an agent, open the agent in the Agent Builder, find the skill under the Skills section, and remove it. Removing a skill from an agent does not delete it from the workspace.
