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

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

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.

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

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.
