What are AI agent skills

## Your Team's Expertise, Packaged for AI

A skill is a reusable instruction package your AI agents load only when a task matches. Write it once in plain language, and it works everywhere.

For AI agents

### Picked automatically to solve the ticket end to end

On every channel

### Email, chat, WhatsApp, social, Slack and Microsoft Teams

A skill in action

### Order cancellation

-   **Customer says:** "I ordered the wrong size. Can you cancel it?"
-   **The skill:** Checks whether the order can still be cancelled, cancels it if eligible and confirms it went through. If it is too late, it explains the cancellation policy.
-   **You see:** Every step in the AI trace log.

Key capabilities

## Why Teams Choose BoldDesk AI Agent Skills

### Takes real action

Skills guide your AI through API Tools and MCP: which system to check, when and what to do next.

### Flexible, within your rules

You set the process and limits. The AI works out the next step instead of following a rigid script.

### Asks your team when needed

For sensitive steps, the AI asks a teammate to approve, then completes the task once it's cleared.

### See every decision

AI trace logs show which skill, knowledge and tools were used, so you always know why.

### Build once, use everywhere

One skill works across tickets, chats and the [Assist Agent](https://dev-astro.bolddesk.com/assist-agent). Update it once and every linked agent follows.

### Reads files and screenshots

Skills understand the files and screenshots customers send, so there are fewer back-and-forth questions.
