Each skill is built on top of an external [plugin](/ai-2-0/collate-ai/ai-studio/plugins) and exposes a specific subset of tools from that plugin. The built-in Collate plugin isn't available as a base for skills: skills are only built on plugins you've connected yourself, such as Confluence or GitHub. For example, a **Documentation Lookup** skill built on the Confluence plugin gives an agent the ability to search and retrieve pages from your Confluence site, without granting access to unrelated tools. ## Create a Skill Follow the steps below to create a new skill in AI Studio. ### Step 1: Navigate to the Skills Tab 1.
