Skills

Reusable logic packages that extend what Lyzr agents can do.

Skills are modular, reusable building blocks that define what an agent can do. Unlike tools (which call external APIs), skills contain executable logic: code, multi-step prompts, or tool integrations packaged as a single reusable unit.

Why skills exist

Without skills, every agent you build needs the same logic written again: the same email formatting, the same data transformation, the same API integration pattern. Skills let you write logic once and attach it to any agent.

Skills vs. tools

	Skills	Tools
Contains	Executable code + prompts	API integration spec
Reused how	Added to agent in Studio or via GitHub / zip	Selected from the tools library
Best for	Multi-step logic, workflows, custom code	Single-action external service calls
Format	SKILL.md + code files in a zip or GitHub repo	JSON schema / OpenAPI spec

Skill format

A skill is a directory (zip file or GitHub repo) with a SKILL.md file at its root. The SKILL.md defines the skill’s interface, parameters, and behavior.
