# Skills

Skills are repository-scoped tool packages that extend what TestVibe can do during AI-assisted authoring, generation, and workflow support. A skill can expose tools, require secrets or variables, or provide custom logic that is saved with the selected repository.

Use Skills when your team wants TestVibe to call a repeatable helper, connect to a known service, or preserve custom automation behavior as part of the project setup.
