   The input options change depending on the data type that you select.

2. Search for the inputs that you want to use for the prompt.

   For example, you can search for the incident short description or priority.

3. If you're not ready to finalize the prompt and publish the skill, select Save or Save as.

   Note: Skills can have multiple prompts. Usage conditions determine which prompt is executed. If no conditions are met, the default prompt is executed. To configure prompt usage conditions, see Configure a skill prompt.

What to do next

After you create a prompt, test it. To learn more about testing your prompt, see Test a prompt.

• Add a tool
  Add and manage tools visually in the Tools editor, including decision branching, to execute different tools for your skill. Adding decision branches between tools enables you to define the conditions that must be met for a tool to run. If no conditions are met, the default branch’s step is executed.
