A **Skill** is an ad-ops playbook — a set of instructions that teaches an MCP-connected agent how to run a workflow using AdCrunch's own tools (for example: "pull the last 14 days of Meta campaigns, then flag anything over target CPA"). You write a Skill once; every teammate's connected agent can run it consistently, with no copy-paste.

Skills are **private to your organization**. New organizations start with an empty Skills store.

## Manage Skills in the console

Open **Skills** in the console sidebar.

- **Create** a Skill on a dedicated page: a `name`, a `description` (what an agent reads to decide when to use it), and the `body` (the markdown instructions). Optionally set a custom slug.
- **Edit** a Skill on its own page — change the name, description, or body, copy its handle, rename its slug, or delete it.

## The slug is the agent handle

Every Skill has a **slug** — its stable, per-organization handle. Agents fetch a Skill by slug (`skill_get` with `skill_name: "weekly-meta-audit"`). The slug is derived from the name when you create the Skill and shown with a copy button in the editor.

:::warning[Renaming a slug moves the handle]

Renaming a Skill's slug changes the handle agents use. Any agent or saved prompt that referenced the old slug will need updating.

## Agents can edit Skills too

Anything you can do in the console, a connected agent can do over MCP with the `skill:write` scope — including creating and updating Skills mid-session. To keep a human edit and an agent edit from clobbering each other, every save is guarded by a revision: if the Skill changed since you opened it, the console shows a "reloaded the latest" notice instead of overwriting.
