# New Bob Skills API: Push and sync skills into Bob

The Skills module in Bob helps you define and manage the capabilities your workforce needs to succeed. Use the  Bob Skills API to create, update, search, and archive skills in Bob from an external system.

## What’s changed

* Create skills with `name`, `description`, `status`, `category`, `source`, `externalId`, and `proficiency-level` descriptions.
* Update or archive skills in bulk using the stable `source` + `externalId` locator.
* List Bob’s configured proficiency levels before adding level-specific descriptions.

## Why this matters

* Keep Bob’s skills catalog aligned with your external source of truth.
* Reduce manual updates and data drift.
* Add clear proficiency-level context to each skill.
* Use stable external IDs for more reliable syncs.
