What are skills?

Skills are pre-built capabilities that Gainable can add to your applications. When you request a skill by name, the Build Agent uses specialized knowledge to implement it correctly.
You don’t need to know how these work internally. Just request them by name in your prompts, and Gainable handles the implementation.
