# Run automated tasks with Postman AI Skills

Agent Mode has built-in "recipes" for accomplishing certain meaningful tasks by combining one or more tools with specific configurations. These tasks are called Skills.

To use skills, do the following:

1. Enter the slash character (`/`). Agent Mode gives you a popup menu of skills to choose from.

2. Select a skill from the menu. Agent Mode answers with a prompt that starts with the skill name and includes placeholders for the inputs that the skill needs.

3. Replace any placeholders within the prompt, in the following way:

   * For placeholders that start with the "at" character (`@`): Tab to or click the placeholder to open the menu, and select the desired collection, environment, or API specification from the menu.

   * For plain placeholders (those that don't start with `@`): Tab to or click the placeholder and enter your desired text. Examples of this type of placeholder include `new workspace name` and `project description`.

4. Press the return key. Agent Mode will take it from there.
