Skills and agents are currently in alpha. The feature works but is still evolving.
Apps can define AI capabilities that live inside the workspace — reusable skill instructions and agents with custom system prompts.
Skills define reusable instructions and capabilities that AI agents can use within your workspace. Use defineSkill() to define skills with built-in validation:
src/skills/example-skill.ts
import { defineSkill } from 'twenty-sdk/define';

export default defineSkill({
  universalIdentifier: 'a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890',
  name: 'sales-outreach',
  label: 'Sales Outreach',
  description: 'Guides the AI agent through a structured sales outreach process',
  icon: 'IconBrain',
  content: `You are a sales outreach assistant. When reaching out to a prospect:
1. Research the company and recent news
2. Identify the prospect's role and likely pain points
3. Draft a personalized message referencing specific details
4. Keep the tone professional but conversational`,
});
Key points:
  • name is a unique identifier string for the skill (kebab-case recommended).
  • label is the human-readable display name shown in the UI.
  • content contains the skill instructions — this is the text the AI agent uses.
  • icon (optional) sets the icon displayed in the UI.
  • description (optional) provides additional context about the skill’s purpose.
Agents are AI assistants that live inside your workspace. Use defineAgent() to create agents with a custom system prompt:
src/agents/example-agent.ts
import { defineAgent } from 'twenty-sdk/define';

export default defineAgent({
  universalIdentifier: 'b3c4d5e6-f7a8-9012-bcde-f34567890123',
  name: 'sales-assistant',
  label: 'Sales Assistant',
  description: 'Helps the sales team draft outreach emails and research prospects',
  icon: 'IconRobot',
  prompt: 'You are a helpful sales assistant. Help users with their questions and tasks.',
});
Key points:
  • name is the unique identifier string for the agent (kebab-case recommended).
  • label is the display name shown in the UI.
  • prompt is the system prompt that defines the agent’s behavior.
  • description (optional) provides context about what the agent does.
  • icon (optional) sets the icon displayed in the UI.
  • modelId (optional) overrides the default AI model used by the agent.
