Using Skills

A Skill contains reusable instructions for a specific task or recurring workflow.

Skills can contain both simple instructions and more complex workflows. These can include, for example:

• Detailed instructions

• Documentation

• Scripts

• Code

• Routines

• API integrations

Skills follow a standardized structure and can be imported and exported.

Library Skills and Agent Skills

There are two types of skills.

• Library Skills are reusable and can be shared in the workspace and used by multiple agents.
• Agent Skills belong to a specific agent.

An Agent Skill can later be extracted from the agent and converted into a regular Library Skill.

Managing Connectors

Opening the Connectors section

Select Connectors in the left navigation to access the overview of available connectors and the connections set up for them.

Creating a new connector

1. Click the purple + Connector button. A modal will open with a selection of available MCP Providers and the option Custom Server for individual connections.
2. Select the desired MCP provider.
3. Set up the connection: Enter your personal authentication if it's required for the setup.

If no connector of this type exists yet in the workspace, you'll be creating the first one. After that, other team members can set up their own connections for this connector.

Actions for Connectors
Each connector card has an action menu in the top right corner. Click it. The following options are available: Manage Connections, Copy Connector Link, or Delete Connector.
Using the toggle in the bottom right, you can disable Agent access for this connector.

Using Connectors

Connectors connect Agents with external tools and services. awork provides predefined connectors. Additionally, you can create your own connectors using the MCP protocol.

Distinguishing Connectors and Connections

A Connector describes the service that AI can access.

A Connection is the actual set up and authenticated connection to that service.

A connector can have multiple connections. When multiple connections are available, a selector is displayed. This lets you choose which connection the Agent should use.

Using Custom Servers

Existing Custom Servers are also displayed in the Library. You can use such a server and connect it with your personal authentication if needed.

Sharing Connections with Team Members

Connections can be shared with team members. Click Manage Connections, then in the Connections section click the Action Button and Share Connection.

A shared connection will then also appear in the Library of the respective team members.

This way, team members can use an existing connection without having to set it up themselves, if no separate account or authentication is required.

Enabling Connectors for an Agent

Depending on the agent, different connectors can be enabled or disabled.

If a connector is disabled, you can enable it. This gives the agent additional content or capabilities.

The Library directly shows you:

• Active Connectors: The agent currently uses these

• Disabled Connectors: You can enable these if needed
