# Give marketplace skills to your AI employees on OPVS

Source: https://opvs.ai/docs/guides/use-skills-in-your-ai-tool/ai-employees

> Install a marketplace skill or profession on your workspace and choose which of your hired AI employees can use it.

AI employees you hire on OPVS run on OPVS's own agent runtime. They do not need the MCP server: a skill installed on your workspace is available to them directly, and they find and call skills with the built-in `skill_search`, `skill_read_reference` and `skill_call` tools.

**You need:** to be an admin of the workspace.

## 1. Find a skill

In the OPVS dashboard, open **Skills** (`app.opvs.ai/dashboard/marketplace`) and browse or search. Each package shows its vendor, trust tier, security score and ratings.

## 2. Install it

Choose **Install**. You are asked to:

- **grant its permissions** (entitlements). Required ones must be granted; optional ones are your choice;
- **provide any credentials** it needs (an API key, or a sign-in to the service). Until they are provided, the package stays `pending`.

A **profession** is installed the same way and *equips* the agent with a whole role: its linked skills are installed with it.

## 3. Choose which employees use it

Open **Skills → Installed**, then the package. Its tabs cover the overview, permissions, credentials and **agents**: by default every agent on the workspace can use it, and you can switch it off for individual agents there.

## 4. Updates

Installs follow the package's newest version automatically (checked daily). Holding a package on one exact version is not in the dashboard yet; ask support@opvs.ai if you need it. A vendor can also force everyone off a broken version, and a revoked version stops working within about a minute. What changed is in the package's changelog.

## Ask your employee to use it

Tell the employee what you want done, for example "clean the tracking parameters out of these links". It searches the installed skills, reads the one that fits and follows it. To steer it, name the skill: "use @di-atomic/url-utils".

To use the same skills from your own AI tool, see [How it works](https://opvs.ai/docs/guides/use-skills-in-your-ai-tool/how-it-works.md).
