Use in Chat

On a published skill card in My Skills or Browse, click the Use in chat icon. The skill opens in a Coworker chat. Describe what you need in plain language.

Slash Command

The list includes skills that are published in My Skills, and whose Target Agent matches this agent.

  1. In Agentforce Coworker or Agentforce agent chat, type / or the skill icon and the skill name.
  2. Select the skill.
  3. Provide any inputs the agent requests.
  4. Review the response in the chat.

Describe a Task

In the agent, describe the task in plain language, without naming the skill. The agent matches the request to a skill from the name and description.

For example: Can you close this case and send a summary to the team?
