# Workspace Skills

> Browse, search, and start creating reusable capabilities from the workspace Skills module.

Skills are reusable capabilities that Beam uses to get work done. Open **Skills** from the workspace navigation to browse the skills available in your workspace and start using one in chat.

</h2>

The Skills page has **Active Skills** and **All Skills** tabs. Use **Listing** to filter the catalog, or search by skill name.

Skill cards identify whether a skill is **Personal** or a **System skill**. Select **Try in chat** on a card to use that skill in a Beam conversation.

</h2>

1. Open **Skills** from the workspace navigation.
2. Select **New skill**.
3. In the guided Beam chat, describe what you want the skill to do.

Beam asks for a one- or two-sentence description of the task or problem the skill should handle.
