What Are AI Skills?
In Agento, a Skill is a reusable, versioned AI capability that encapsulates a specific function: summarizing documents, extracting data from invoices, generating reports, or any domain-specific task.
The Skills Engine Architecture
Skill Builder
The low-code Skill Builder lets teams create skills without writing code:
Define inputs and outputs with a visual schema editor
Configure the AI model, temperature, and token limits
Set up tool integrations (APIs, databases, file systems)
Add validation rules and output formatting
Version Control
Every skill change creates a new version:
Semantic versioning (major.minor.patch)
Diff view between versions
Rollback to any previous version
Promotion pipeline: Draft → Staging → Production
Skill Packs
Group related skills into shareable packs:
Pre-built packs for common domains (finance, HR, legal)
Organization-wide skill libraries
Cross-team skill discovery and reuse
Sandbox Testing
Before deploying a skill to production, test it in the Sandbox:
Run with sample inputs and review outputs
Compare performance across different AI models
Measure latency, token usage, and cost
Validate governance policy compliance
Getting Started
The Skill Builder is designed so that the path from "I have an idea for a skill" to "I have a tested draft" is a few minutes of configuration, not days of engineering. Once Agento is available in your workspace, the entry point is Skills → New Skill.
