Skills & Integrations

Skills give your agent real-world capabilities. Connect external APIs, enable built-in AI tools, and extend your agent's reach.

How Skills Work#

Skills are modular capabilities that you can enable or disable from the dashboard. There are two types:

  • Integration Skills — Require API credentials to connect to external services (Discord, GitHub, Gmail, etc.). These give your agent real API-backed tools.
  • AI-Native Skills — Powered by the LLM itself, no external API needed. These enhance your agent's capabilities through specialized prompts (content writing, code review, data analysis, etc.).
💡

Real tool execution

When you enable an integration skill and provide credentials, your agent gets actual function-calling tools. It doesn't simulate actions — it makes real API calls to Discord, GitHub, Gmail, and other services.

Integration Skills#

These require API keys or OAuth credentials. Click any card for setup instructions.

AI-Native Skills#

These skills are powered by your AI model and don't require external credentials. Enable them from the Skills panel to add specialized system prompts that enhance your agent's capabilities.

Enabling Skills#

To enable a skill:

  1. Open your Dashboard and go to the Skills tab
  2. Find the skill you want and click the toggle to enable it
  3. For integration skills, click the gear icon to enter your API credentials
  4. Your agent will immediately have access to the new tools

No rebuild needed

Enabling or disabling skills takes effect immediately. Your agent's tool list is updated in real-time without a server rebuild.

Credential Security#

When you enter API credentials for a skill, they are:

  • Sent over HTTPS to your VM with authentication
  • Stored in memory on your VM (lost on restart, re-fetched on boot)
  • Stored encrypted in the Lobstack database
  • Masked in the dashboard UI (shown as ****XXXX)
  • Never shared across agents or users
