Instead of starting from a blank document, you can build a skill from a template — a ready-to-edit outline for a common workflow, such as a payer enrollment or credentialing process. This guide walks through creating a skill from the **BCBS North Carolina Individual Practitioner Enrollment** template. ## Step 1: Open the Skills page From the sidebar, click **Skills**, then click the **+ New skill** button in the skills panel. Skills page with the New skill button in the left sidebar ## Step 2: Browse the template catalog The **Create a skill** dialog opens with the template catalog. You can start blank or pick a template — everything stays editable after the skill is created. Use the search-friendly list to scroll through templates, or narrow it down with the theme tags at the top. Click **+N more** to expand the full list of themes. Create a skill dialog showing the template catalog and theme tags ## Step 3: Filter by theme Click a theme tag to show only matching templates. For example, selecting **payer-enrollment** narrows the catalog to payer enrollment templates like the BCBS provider enrollment workflows.

A preview opens showing the template's purpose, variables, and step-by-step outline, and the skill name is pre-filled with the template name — edit it if you want a different name.

A new agent session opens in plan mode: the agent picks up the template and starts drafting the skill from its outline.

From there you can review the draft, tweak the steps, and fill in any organization-specific details before putting the skill to work. ## Tips * Templates are starting points — every section of the generated skill remains editable. * Theme tags can be combined with scrolling the catalog to quickly find the right workflow (for example `credentialing`, `provider-enrollment`, or a specific payer). * If none of the templates fit, choose **Blank skill** to start from an empty document instead.
