> What a Super Magic skill is, how it differs from an agent, and how to run one on demand across your service tickets.

<Info>A **skill** is a prompt that does one job on your tickets, run on demand in
[Super Magic](/super-magic/meet-super-magic-your-ai-assistant-in-the-inbox). You
stay in the loop: it reads freely, and asks before it writes.</Info>

<Tip>
  **Looking for something specific?** Press `⌘K` (or `Ctrl K`) and search by the problem — "printer", "backup", "offboarding". To browse instead, use **By Category**, **By Connector**, **By Role** or **By Outcome** in the sidebar.
</Tip>

## How a skill runs

Open Super Magic in Inbox, paste the prompt from any page in this library, and it
works the ticket in front of you — or a batch of them, if the page says so. Every
write is confirmed by you, so there's no scope to set up and nothing to enable.

You can also reach Thread's tools from your own AI client through
[Thread MCP](/super-magic/thread-mcp-server-developer-guide) — the same reads and
writes, driven from Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, or Cursor. Saved skills live in
Super Magic, so run the prompt itself when you're working from an MCP client.

## When a skill becomes an agent

Add a trigger and a write scope and the same prompt runs without you — see
[Agents](/skill-library/agents). Roughly a sixth of this library is eligible;
everything else is designed for a person to run, either because it needs judgment
or because there's no ticket event that should set it off.
