Skills are packaged, reusable capabilities the agent can run — scripts and procedures for concrete tasks (for example, setting up cloud IAM). Rather than improvising every time, the agent reaches for the right skill, which makes its work more reliable and repeatable.

How the agent uses skills

When a task matches a skill, the agent loads and runs it as part of a session — you’ll see it in the tool activity. Skills run with the credentials you’ve selected for the session, under the same guardrails as any other agent action: changes still surface as plans for approval.

Handoff to other tools

Nuphos can also hand off to the agent tools you already use, like Claude Code and Codex, through the Handoff area. Installing the handoff skills lets those tools open resources in Nuphos and obtain short-lived credentials — so you can move between Nuphos and your terminal-based agent without re-authenticating.
The set of built-in skills evolves as the product grows. You don’t install built-in skills manually — the agent draws on them automatically.
