# How to Govern Agent Skills

> Review, verify, and version the prompt instructions behind Exterview's AI agents from Settings → Setup → Skills.

**Core.** Agent Skills is where Admins and HR-IT reviewers see every AI capability Exterview uses on your organization's behalf, its purpose, its prompt instruction, and its version history, and control which version is live.

## Purpose

Every AI agent Exterview runs for your organization is built from a Skill: a purpose, a prompt instruction, and the constraints it must follow. Agent Skills lists the Skills your organization uses (your own customizations plus the platform defaults you haven't overridden), lets you verify your identity to view a prompt instruction, and lets people with the right permission edit it, save a new version, and activate it.

## Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Skills">
    Go to **Settings → Setup → Skills**. Each Skill appears as a card showing
    its name, whether Exterview recommends it, its instruction key, and
    whether it's still using the platform default or your organization's own
    version.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Expand a Skill to see its purpose">
    Click a Skill to expand it and read its purpose, what it's meant to do.
    The prompt instruction itself stays hidden until you verify your
    identity.

  <Step title="Verify to view the prompt instruction">
    Select View to open a verification dialog, then select Send OTP.
    Exterview emails a one-time code to your account email; enter it to
    unlock a read-only, copy-protected view of the prompt instruction for
    about an hour.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Edit and save a new version">
    If your role has Setup edit permission, edit the prompt instruction and
    select Save as New Version. Exterview asks for a change reason, then
    creates a new version that's saved but not yet live.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Activate a version">
    Review the version list and each version's constraints and input/output
    contract. If your role has Setup approve permission, select Set Active on
    the version that should go live.
