The Agent Skills panel organizes skills into two sections: Your Skills and Custom Skills. Both work the same way when the agent uses them. The difference is where they come from and how you manage them.
Your Skills (Official)
These are skills from the Runable skill library. Each one is marked with an Official badge. They are built and maintained by the Runable team or verified contributors.
Examples of official skills:
| Skill | What it does |
|---|
| remotion-best-practices | Best practices for Remotion video creation |
| stock-analysis | Analyze stocks using yfinance with no API key needed |
| plan-ceo-review | CEO/founder-mode plan review and strategic rethinking |
Custom Skills
Custom Skills are the ones you build yourself. They appear in a separate section below Your Skills in the Agent Skills panel.
You create custom skills in two ways:
- Create with Runable — click the Create with Runable button in the Agent Skills panel, or ask the agent in chat to build a skill for you.
- Upload Skill — click Upload Skill and drag and drop a ZIP file.
Custom skills are private to your account. You can edit them (by asking the agent to modify the skill or uploading a new version), disable them, or delete them.
Ask the agent to create a custom skill for your restaurant
How the agent chooses between them
When you send a prompt, the agent scans all your enabled skills (both official and custom) and picks the ones that match. It does not prefer one type over the other. An enabled skill is an enabled skill regardless of where it came from.
If you have a custom skill that handles the same task as an official skill, and both are enabled, the agent may pick either one. To make sure the agent uses your version, disable the official skill.
When you type / in the input bar, both official and custom skills appear in the same dropdown. Official skills show the Official badge so you can tell them apart.
