Use AI Skills in Brain and Super Agents

Enable Skills for ClickUp Brain and Super Agents.

Feature availability and limits vary by plan and user role. Learn more

The Skills Hub can only be accessed if the AI and Custom Skills ClickApps are enabled in your Workspace.

Enable a Skill

Enabling a Skill makes it active when you interact with Brain or Super Agents. It can be automatically used without having to find or add it.
When you enable a Skill for a person or Team, Brain can use that Skill in conversations with the person or Team. When you enable a Skill for a Super Agent, the Super Agent can use that Skill when needed.
To enable a Skill:

  1. Open the Skills Hub.
  2. Click the Skill.
  3. In the right sidebar's Enabled for section, click Enable.
  4. In the picker, select a tab:
    • All: Everyone and everything you can enable the Skill for.
    • People: People in your Workspace. You can also type an email address to invite someone.
    • Agents: Super Agents you can manage.
    • Teams: Teams in your Workspace.
  5. Select a person, Team, or Super Agent.

Enabling a Skill for a person or Team makes it available to that person or Team everywhere that Skills can be used.

From a Super Agent's profile

To enable a Skill for a Super Agent from its profile:

  1. Open the Super Agent's profile.
  2. Below its instructions, click Add skill.
  3. Search for and select the Skill.

Use Skills ad hoc in Brain

To use a Skill ad hoc in Brain:

  1. Open Brain.
  2. At the bottom of the message composer, click Skills.
  3. Select the Skill. It will be inserted in your draft.
    • If you don't see the Skill you need, select + Create skill to start a guided Brain conversation without leaving your chat.
  4. Add any additional context to your message, such as which project, List, or topic the Skill should apply to.
  5. Send your message.
  6. Brain applies the Skill's saved instructions to your request, pulling in relevant Workspace data like tasks, Docs, or recent activity as needed.

If there isn't enough information to complete the Skill well, Brain will tell you what's missing.

Share a Skill

By default, Skills you create are private. To update this:

  1. Open the Skills Hub.
  2. Click a Skill to open its details.
  3. In the upper-right corner, click Private.
  4. Share the Skill:
    • Invite specific people or Teams by name or email in the Invite by name or email field, then click Invite, and choose a permission level.
    • Share the Skill with everyone in your Workspace by turning on the Workspace members toggle.
    • Make the Skill visible to your entire Workspace by clicking Make Public.

Making a Skill public grants Workspace members Full edit access to the Skill. To control who can edit or enable it, share it directly with specific people or Teams instead.

Sharing vs. enabling a Skill

Sharing a Skill gives your teammate access to the Skill. They can open it, see how it's built, and depending on their permission level, modify or run it.
Enabling a Skill makes it automatically activate when interacting with Brain or a Super Agent. Brain uses the shared Skill directly, so updates to the Skill apply for everyone who has it enabled.
The two work together. Sharing controls who can see and edit a Skill. Enabling controls whose Brain and which Super Agents use it automatically.
Users with Edit or Full edit access can enable or disable the Skill for others. Users with View only or Comment access can still use a directly shared, active Skill in Brain, but someone with Edit or Full edit access must enable it for them if automatic use is needed.

Best practices for using Skills

Below are some recommended practices when using Skills:

  • Mention a specific project, List, or task for the Skill to work on instead of generic requests. Skills that pull from real Workspace data give better results than ones invoked with no context.
  • Be specific in the Skill itself about tone, structure, and what completion looks like. The more detailed the Skill, the more consistent the output.
  • Use the follow-up suggestions Brain offers after a response, such as refining the Skill or connecting it to a specific List, to improve it over time.
