# Skills Overview

> Extend Duvo agents with reusable skills for PDFs, documents, presentations, spreadsheets, and more. Attach skills to add specialized capabilities.

Skills are pre-built capabilities that give your agents specialized knowledge. When you attach a skill to an agent, it gains expertise in that specific area—like working with PDFs, creating documents, or building presentations. Think of skills as expert guides that help your agents handle specific types of tasks without needing detailed instructions in your AOP.

## How Skills Work

Skills extend what your agents can do. Each skill contains specialized knowledge about a particular topic or capability. When an agent has access to a skill, it draws on that expertise automatically when relevant tasks arise.

Skills work alongside connections. While connections connect your agents to external systems (like Gmail or Google Sheets), skills provide the knowledge needed to work with specific types of content.

## Skills and Agents

Skills are attached per agent. When building or editing an agent:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the agent" icon="square-mouse-pointer">
    Open the agent you want to configure.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find the Skills section" icon="list">
    In the agent settings, find the Skills section.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select skills" icon="check">
    Select the skills you want the agent to use.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save" icon="save">
    Save your changes.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Your agent will automatically use its attached skills when relevant. You don't need to reference skills in your AOP—the agent uses them naturally based on the task at hand.
</Note>
