# Test a skill

Skills do not have a standalone run button. Test a managed playbook through an agent that can load it and already has the required capabilities.

*Studio interface in English. Sample data.*

## Run a representative check

1. Open the skill and note its Description and expected Tools.
2. Assign it to a custom agent from the agent's `Permissions` section.
3. Confirm that agent also has the required filesystem, network, browser, device, and tool access.
4. Start a fresh task whose request clearly matches the skill's trigger.
5. Inspect approvals, tool results, and the final verification, then run one unrelated prompt as a control.

## Expected result

The agent loads the skill only when relevant and completes the expected method without gaining extra authority or exposing the managed playbook body.
