# Skills
Skills are the abilities that Pets can gain as they level up.
The `Skills` section of the [Configurator's](/setup-guide/skilltree-creation/creating-custom-skilltrees.md) Inspector allows you to add or remove the skills included in the skilltree and configure the individual skill parameters.
Click the `Skill` dropdown at the top of the section to select a skill, then click the `+ Add Skill` button to include it in the list.
Click on an individual skill to edit its properties. A newly added skill will warn you that no upgrades have been added, so from here you can click the `+ Add Upgrade` button. In the popup that appears you can choose between a `fixed` and a `dynamic` level-rule.
`Fixed` rules will apply the upgrade on fixed levels like 5 or 1, 3, 5, and 7.
`Dynamic` rules can be used if you want to apply the upgrade over a certain range of levels, for example every 2 levels like 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, ... or 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, etc.
From here you can configure the parameters specific to each skill. These are further explained on each skill's page linked in the table below.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://wiki.mypet-plugin.com/setup-guide/skilltree-creation/creating-custom-skilltrees/skills.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
