# Skills

> Define and use Skills to give Sawmills Agent predefined, repeatable workflows for recurring investigations, standard summaries, and common tasks.

## Overview

Skills give Sawmills Agent a predefined way to handle common tasks. A skill can guide how the agent approaches a request, which steps it follows, and how it structures the result.

## Why Skills Matter

Skills help make repeated work more consistent across a workspace. They are useful when a team wants the agent to follow the same process for similar requests.

Examples include:

* recurring investigation patterns
* standard summaries
* team-specific ways of working

## Using Skills

When a skill applies to a request, Sawmills Agent can use it to follow a more consistent workflow than a general conversation alone.

From a user point of view, this means:

* more predictable results for common tasks
* fewer repeated instructions
* easier reuse of proven workflows

## Managing Skills

In workspaces where custom skills are enabled, administrators can manage skills for their organization.

Common management actions include:

* creating a new skill
* updating an existing skill
* reviewing previous versions
* rolling back to an earlier version

## Notes

<Note>
  Skill availability and management access depend on your workspace configuration.
