# Replace an agent's skills

> Replaces the agent's enabled skill subset with the supplied list of skill slugs and
returns the new subset; sending an empty list resets the agent to use all installed
skills. Every requested slug must be a skill currently installed for the workspace,
otherwise the request is rejected (returns 400). Returns 404 if the agent is not in
the caller's workspace. Admin only.
