## **What is a Skill**
A Skill is a structured module that defines how the agent should perform a specific task.
It typically includes:
* A [**SKILL.md**](http://SKILL.md) file (instructions and behavior definition for the agent)
* Optional resources such as:
* Scripts
* References
* Assets
Skills act as **reusable building blocks**, turning one-time solutions into repeatable capabilities.
#### **Skill Types**
Skills in CodeBanana are organized into three categories:
**Public Skills**
* Available in the Skill Market
* Created and shared by the community
* Can be browsed, added to projects, and shared
**Private Skills**
* Created and managed by individual users
* Only visible to you unless published
* Can be reused across your own projects
**Project Skills**
* Skills that are **currently applied within a specific project**
* Only take effect in that project’s agent context
#### **Using Skills**
You can apply Skills to your project in different ways:
**Add from Skill Market**
* Search for relevant skills in market
* Click **Add to Project** to apply in a project
**Create and reuse your own Skills**
* Package your workflow into a Skill
* Upload it to your private skill library
* Reuse it across multiple projects by opening a project and adding to this project
**Upload Skills**
* Upload a skill to your **Private** library
* Uploaded skills can be reused across different projects
