Configuration → Skills is the catalog of everything your agents know how to do. See Skills for the concept.

The skills library.

Browsing

The library lists every skill available on this machine, with a filter for finding one by name. Each entry carries a one-line summary — the same text shown in the catalog picker when you type / in a prompt box.

Assigning skills to queens

Skills can be scoped per queen, so a queen only carries the capabilities relevant to her function. Use Configure skills on a queen to set which ones she has.

Authoring your own

Write a skill as Markdown with a name, a one-line description, and a body describing the procedure. All three are required. You can also upload one — only .md and .zip files are accepted. Use .zip when a skill needs supporting files alongside its Markdown.

MCP servers

The MCP tab connects Model Context Protocol servers. Connecting one exposes its tools to your agents as skills, which is the general path for wiring OpenHive into systems it doesn’t support natively.
