# Managing skills {#administration-skills}

A skill supplies instructions and metadata for an AI task or run. Import
`SKILL.md` files from a single GitHub file, repository or marketplace, or
write a local skill in the backend. Review the version before approving and
attaching it to a configuration or task. Enabled and approved are separate
states: enabling a skill does not approve arbitrary future edits.

The YAML metadata starts with a line containing only `---` and ends with
another standalone `---` line, including at the end of the file.
The closing line may have trailing spaces or tabs.
A metadata key that starts with dashes does not close the block.
The remaining Markdown, including later separator lines, forms the skill body.

The **AI > Authoring > Skills** module, source synchronization and
approval controls are admin-only. Local record authoring can be delegated
through TYPO3 table and field permissions; that does not grant synchronization,
approval or administrative module access. See the local-authoring section
below before delegating those records.

> [!NOTE]
> Ingest — adding sources, syncing and reviewing — is described by
> [ADR-035](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/netresearch/nr-llm:adr-035@0.44). Attaching enabled skills to tasks and
> configurations and injecting them into text-generation prompts is
> described by [ADR-036](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/netresearch/nr-llm:adr-036@0.44) and the
> [Attaching skills](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/netresearch/nr-llm:administration-skills-attach@0.44) section below.

Choose the operation you need. Source synchronization, local authoring,
version approval and prompt attachment have different permissions and effects.
A source fingerprint is not a publisher signature, and approval does not
remove tool authorization or write approvals.
