A skill is a reusable capability an agent can invoke — a documented procedure, a tool, or an integration with an outside system. Skills are how a general-purpose agent becomes good at something specific.

​
Where skills come from

  • Built in — OpenHive ships with a catalog of skills covering research, outreach, data, and browser work.
  • MCP servers — connect a Model Context Protocol server to expose its tools to your agents as skills.
  • Your own — author a skill as Markdown, or upload a .md or .zip file.
Manage all of them from the Skills library.

​
Using a skill in a request

Type / in the prompt box to attach a skill to what you’re asking for. This is useful when you know the approach you want an agent to take, instead of leaving it to pick.

​
Browser skills

Some skills drive a real browser through the OpenHive browser bridge, which lets agents work inside tools that have no API. These need a one-time connection before use — see Browser automation.
