# Create

> Write instructions and publish a new skill

**Create skill** is a four-step wizard: **Details**, **Instructions**, **Access**, then **Review & Publish**. Use **Save Draft** to keep work in progress, **Previous** to go back, and **Next** to continue.

## 1. Details

Enter the skill metadata:

* **Skill name**
* **Description**
* **Space** — where the skill will be created
* **Category**
* **Tags** — type a tag and press Enter
* **License** — for example MIT, Apache-2.0, or Proprietary
* **Visibility** — for example **Private**: only users you grant access to can view and use this skill

## 2. Instructions

Write how the skill should behave. Free-form instructions are accepted. UtopikAI generates `skill.md` from the name, description, and this text.

The editor includes formatting such as bold, lists, links, code, images, and tables. A **Preview (skill.md)** pane shows the generated file, including name and description.

## 3. Access

Grant who can view and use the skill.

* **Skill access to specific users** — **Add user**, search by name or email, and assign a **role**. You can edit or remove a user later.
* **Skill access to whole workspace** — **Configure** to grant access to all workspace users when you want everyone to use the skill.

## 4. Review & Publish

Confirm the details, instructions, and access, then publish. After publish, assign the skill to an [assistant](/guides/assistants) or [agent](/guides/agents).
