The shared skill doesn’t appear in My Skills

If a shared skill doesn’t appear in My Skills, then open Browse and turn on Add to My Skills. Sharing grants access. It doesn’t add the skill to My Skills.

Users can’t create skills

If users can’t create skills, then confirm that the AI Skill User or AI Skill Manager permission set is assigned, that the required add-on is provisioned, and that Einstein Generative AI is on.

Skill Builder doesn’t load

If Skill Builder doesn’t load, then refresh the page, clear the browser cache, and confirm permissions. If the message We couldn’t load this skill appears, then confirm that you have access to the skill.

The skill returns an inaccurate response

If the skill returns an inaccurate response, then make the instructions more specific, confirm agent actions and scope, and add context.

Shared skill is read-only

If you can’t edit a skill that was shared with you, then the access is Read only. Ask the owner for Read and write, or click Make a Copy.
