Hello , I am trying to teach it a new skill but everytime I try uploading my json skill spec it fails . I have tried changing it and using different structures but it fails everytime . I used swagger to test it and it went thorugh . Does anyone know if there is a manual way of teaching or exposing that skill or is there any alternative ? Thanks !

Hi, what error do you get?  We support a subset of the OpenAPI spec so might be some piece needing some fixing.

yes the skill pattern is deprecated as we are switching to agents and tools for a more dynamic / LLM driven orchestration.

Learn more in the doc and through webinars which replays we have published in the community (eg 30mn overview).

Asking to provide more context in the warning including on timeline and process:

  • we will get to parity between skill studio and the agent builder over the summer, so you will have some time
  • paid customers can request a new agentic tenant to start exploring/migrating side-by-side
  • new tenants/trials are all agentic with option to revert if needed (more in this webinar)

That being said, I don't know what is failing for your skill BUT it does import fine in the agent builder which i hear is more flexible, one more reason to move over sooner than later!

If pressed to make it work in skill studio, please contact customer support.
