Skills

Organization prompt skills and platform skills. Attach them to agents so they merge into the system prompt. They are not shell tools.

Skills

Skills in ActionFlows are instruction packs (markdown/text) merged into an agent's system prompt. They are not Trigger.dev skills that inject a shell.

Two libraries

KindWho writes itWhere
Organization skillsYour teamOrganization → Skills, or create from Action Agent Studio
Platform skillsActionFlows catalogToggle on the agent. Not edited in the org library.

On Generate Text and other AI nodes whose prompt (or system) field uses the skills picker, you can attach the same organization skills. They merge into that node's prompt text. They are not a separate node and not a shell tool.

On an agent

In Studio, open the Skills panel. Select org skills and/or platform skills. They are concatenated into the system prompt on the next message after save (configVersion).

Keep the base system prompt short. Put reusable policy, tone, and product facts in skills.
