Part of [Bluedeer](https://support.bluedeer.ai/bluedeer.md).

- [What are skills?](https://support.bluedeer.ai/bluedeer/skills/what-are-skills.md): A skill is a saved set of instructions that teaches Bluedeer how to do one job well, such as a deal brief or a support reply. You choose one with "/" in a chat, or Bluedeer picks it when your message clearly fits.
- [Find, try and add skills](https://support.bluedeer.ai/bluedeer/skills/find-try-and-add-skills.md): Customization → Skills → Discover lists the skills you can add. Try starts a chat that uses the skill, + adds it to Yours and turns it on, and Yours has a switch for each skill.
- [Use a skill with "/"](https://support.bluedeer.ai/bluedeer/skills/use-a-skill-with-slash.md): Type "/" at the start of a message to see the skills you turned on, pick one, and finish your message. The reply shows which skill it used.
- [Make your own skill](https://support.bluedeer.ai/bluedeer/skills/make-your-own-skill.md): Create a skill from a form, or let Bluedeer draft one from a chat with "Turn this chat into a skill". You review everything before it is saved, and you can edit, duplicate or delete it later.
- [Upload a skill file](https://support.bluedeer.ai/bluedeer/skills/upload-a-skill-file.md): Bring a skill you already have, including skills made for Claude, by uploading a SKILL.md file or a .zip with one in it. You see the whole draft and what was left out before saving.
- [Share a skill with your workspace](https://support.bluedeer.ai/bluedeer/skills/share-a-skill.md): In a shared workspace, a skill you made can be for you only or for everyone in the workspace. If the workspace has admins approve shares first, yours waits for approval.
- [Skills in shared workspaces](https://support.bluedeer.ai/bluedeer/skills/skills-in-shared-workspaces.md): Owners and admins decide which skills people can use in a shared workspace, can add a skill for everyone or require it, choose who may share skills, and approve members' shares.
- [How many skills you can turn on](https://support.bluedeer.ai/bluedeer/skills/skill-limits.md): Each plan allows a number of Bluedeer skills turned on and a number of your own skills in each workspace. Customization → Skills shows how many you use, such as "12 of 30 turned on".
