# Creating a Skill

> Add a new Skill to your project by uploading a Skill file.

Project admins and editors can add a new Skill directly inside a project.

## Steps

1. Open your project and go to the **Skills** tab in the sidebar.
2. Click **New Skill**, then choose **Upload from your device**.
3. Drag a Skill file onto the dropzone (a `.zip`, `.skill`, or `SKILL.md` file), or click **Add Files** to browse your device.
4. Check the name and description Zylon picked up from the file.
5. Click **Install**.

Your new Skill now appears in the project's Skills list and is ready to use in chat.

<Warning>
  Only upload Skills from sources you trust — a Skill's instructions run automatically whenever someone uses it.
</Warning>

<Info>
  Need a Skill that everyone in the organization can reuse, not just this project? Ask an admin to publish it from [Managing Organization Skills](/en/user-manual/managing-organization-skills), then [install it](/en/user-manual/skills/installing-from-organization) into any project that needs it.
