# Enable & Disable Skills

> Control which skills the agent can use in your conversations.

You can turn individual skills on or off from the Agent Skills panel. When a skill is disabled, the agent will not load it, even if you type its `/command` or your prompt matches its description.

## How to toggle skills

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Agent Skills">
    Go to **Settings** → **Agent Skills**. You can also get there by typing `/` in the input bar and clicking **Manage Skills** at the bottom of the dropdown.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find the skill">
    Your skills are organized into two sections:

    * **Your Skills** - skills from the Runable library, each marked with an <Badge size="sm">Official</Badge> badge.
    * **Custom Skills** - skills you created with Runable or uploaded as a ZIP.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Toggle it on or off">
    Click the toggle switch next to any skill. The change takes effect immediately. A disabled skill will not appear in the `/` dropdown and the agent will not use it.

  </Step>
</Steps>

## When to disable a skill

Most users leave their skills enabled. But there are cases where turning one off helps:

* **You built a newer version of a custom skill.** Disable the old one so the agent does not pick it by mistake.
* **A skill keeps triggering when you do not want it.** If a skill activates on prompts where it should not, toggle it off until you refine its description.
* **You want to test without any custom workflows.** Disabling all custom skills for a conversation lets the agent rely on its built-in capabilities only.

<Info>
  Disabling a skill does not delete it. Toggle it back on at any time and it works the same as before.
</Info>

## Deleting a skill

To permanently remove a custom skill, go to **Settings** → **Agent Skills**, find the skill under Custom Skills, and delete it. This removes the skill files from your account and cannot be undone.

You cannot delete skills from the Runable library (Your Skills section). You can only disable them.
