# Skills overview

Skills are reusable Runtime playbooks that an agent can load when relevant. The current managed catalog is read-only in Studio, so it presents published identity and capability information without exposing the full playbook or scripts.

*Studio interface in English. Sample data.*

## Find and use a skill

1. Open `Studio` → `Skills`.
2. Search by name, description, or tag, or use the available source filter.
3. Open a card to review its Identity, version, tags, locus, and expected Tools.
4. Select `Done` to return to the catalog.
5. Assign the skill from a custom agent's `Permissions` section and run a matching task.

## Expected result

The managed skill is available to the agent without becoming editable. A skill guides work but does not grant tools, plugin access, or permissions.
