Choose a skill when you want an agent to work in a particular way, such as helping with research, writing, planning, or support\. Public skills are free at launch\. After you continue, pick an agent you already have or create a new one\. Alysium shows you the skill in the builder, and you decide whether to add it\. Nothing is attached automatically\.

## Start with one thing you want help with

A skill is an extra ability you can add to an agent, such as a way to research, write, plan, or organize information\. A skill does not work by itself, and it is never added without your approval\.

You do not need to understand how AI works before you browse\. Begin with a simple sentence such as “I want help answering customer questions” or “I want to turn my notes into a lesson\.” A clear goal makes the choices easier to compare\.

Use a category when you know the general area, or search with the words you would normally use\. Open anything that sounds close and read its full page\. The description should tell you whether it was made for your job\.

## Check the details

Look for a plain explanation of what the listing does, who it is for, and what you can expect\. Check the creator, category, price, plan requirement, and last updated date\. A good listing should make one useful job feel clear\.

When two choices look similar, compare them with the same small task and use information that is safe to share\. Notice which result is clearest and easiest to review\. AI can still make mistakes, so double\-check important facts, numbers, and decisions\. Use a qualified person for medical, legal, financial, safety, employment, or other high\-impact work\.

Agents may be free or have a recurring subscription\. Public skills and tools are free at launch\. A free tool may still require an Alysium Pro plan; that requirement appears separately on the listing\.

## Continue when you are ready

You can explore the Marketplace without changing any of your agents\. When you choose something, Alysium opens the right place in the app and checks that the listing is still available\.

Choose an agent and you will continue to that agent’s Alysium page\. Choose a skill or tool and you will be asked which agent should use it\. You can pick an agent you already have or create a new one, then review the selected item in the builder\.

Nothing is added automatically—not when you click a Marketplace button, sign in, create an account, or make a new agent\. Skills and tools are attached only after you confirm inside the builder\. If you change your mind, dismiss the selection and keep browsing\.
