# Agents and skills

# Agents and skills {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated September 30, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
The Agents and Skills panel is an explorer that surfaces all agents and skills available in your current project and on your system. It gives you a single place to check what is configured and ready to use.

## Opening the panel {#agents-and-skills__agents-and-skills-opening-the-panel}

Select the Agents and Skills icon in the Activity Bar to open the panel. The panel lists the following items:

Agents
:   All ACP-compatible agents configured on your system, such as Claude, Devin, and Codex

Skills
:   All skills bundled with Lux Lab and any project-specific skills present in your project

## Panel contents {#agents-and-skills__agents-and-skills-panel-contents}

The panel is a read-only explorer. It does not configure or install agents. It reflects the following existing setup:

* Bundled Lux skills are shown automatically.
* Project-level skills, if present in your project directory, are listed alongside the bundled ones.
* Configured agents appear as they're registered through the [Agent chat harness](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/UCXNSeFXzwAfq8kfpVcK3A "The Agent Chat Harness is the conversational AI interface built into Lux Lab. It uses the Agent Communication Protocol (ACP) to connect external AI agents to your project context.").

To configure agents or install new ones, use Manage models \& agents from the agent switcher in the chat panel.

## Skills in the chat {#agents-and-skills__agents-and-skills-skills-in-the-chat}

You can attach any skill visible in this panel to a chat message with the `@` context picker, by selecting Skills from the picker. For details on using context in the chat, see [Agent chat harness](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/UCXNSeFXzwAfq8kfpVcK3A "The Agent Chat Harness is the conversational AI interface built into Lux Lab. It uses the Agent Communication Protocol (ACP) to connect external AI agents to your project context.").
