# Create and upload skills

Open **Resource Center → Skills → My skills** and select the creation action. Choose manual instructions or upload an existing skill package.

## Create a skill manually

1. Choose manual creation and enter a name and summary.
2. Enter execution instructions covering applicable tasks, inputs, steps, outputs, and exceptions.
3. Select existing tags or create tags that help your team find the skill.
4. Review and submit, then check the new card in **My skills**.

| Field | How to fill it |
| --- | --- |
| Name (required) | Name the method or business capability, such as “Product terminology extraction” |
| Summary (required) | Describe suitable inputs and the expected result |
| Execution instructions (required) | List ordered steps and explain how to handle missing information |
| Tags | Choose useful business classifications for searching and filtering |

Example instructions:

> When asked to organize terminology, read the user-specified material, extract specialized terms, merge duplicates, and provide explanations supported by the original text. Output term, explanation, and evidence columns. List uncertain items separately for confirmation rather than filling gaps yourself.

The page may offer AI polishing after you enter instructions. Review the revised content, especially any added source scope or action permissions.

## Upload a package

In the new-skill form, select **Upload skill** and click the upload area or drag in a file. The entry accepts a `.json` manifest or a `.zip` skill package from GitHub, with a current limit of 50 MB.

After submitting, check that a skill was created and inspect its name, execution instructions, and package files. A supported extension does not guarantee a valid structure. Resolve metadata or structure errors in the package itself; changing its extension is insufficient.

## Validate the result

Review the saved details and [bind the skill to the target agent](bind-skills.md). Test with a small sample and check processing steps and output format before reusing it elsewhere.
