# Add a custom skill

> Define a repeatable agent workflow for your team's export defaults

This guide shows how to add a custom skill so the agent reliably follows your team's workflow — for example, always exporting clips to <code>/exports</code>.

<Info>
  For background on what skills are and why they matter, see [Skills in Agentic Editing](/core-concepts/agentic-editing#skills-in-agentic-editing).
</Info>

## Example Skill: Always export to /exports

Suppose you want every clip export to go to <code>/exports</code> by default. A custom skill can encode this so the agent does it automatically.

## Create the skill

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a skill folder">
    In your agent's skills directory (e.g. <code>\~/.cursor/skills/</code> for Cursor, or <code>\$CODEX\_HOME/skills/</code> for Codex), create a new folder — for example <code>jumper-export-exports</code>.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add SKILL.md">
    Inside that folder, create <code>SKILL.md</code> with a short description and the rule. See the example below.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Validate with real footage">
    Run the agent with a simple search-and-export task and confirm clips land in <code>/exports</code>.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Example SKILL.md

```markdown theme={null}
---
name: jumper-export-exports
description: When exporting clips from Jumper, always use output_dir="/exports" unless the user specifies a different path.
---

Always export clips to /exports. 
Use export_clips with output_dir="/exports". 
If the user asks for a different folder, use that instead.
```
