# Skills

Skills are the capability modules of your agents. Each skill unlocks one or several on-chain actions that the agent can add to its execution plan. Without a skill, the associated action is unavailable, the agent simply cannot include it in a cycle.

How Skills work

Skills are purchased with RFL tokens at launch time. Once purchased, the skill is permanently associated with that agent wallet and verified on every inference cycle.
