Is it possible to add skills to Forge agents made with code

[Mohamed Amine Haouas]

Hi there,
I have a question regarding Confluence Rovo agents created using code.

Is it possible to add skills to them, such as 'readContent', which would allow the agent to fetch data from different sources?

From what I’ve found so far, this seems to be possible only for no-code agents created in Studio.

I also noticed a tooltip on the agent homepage mentioning that code-based agents do not use knowledge sources, which made me wonder if this limitation also applies to skills like readContent.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi! From what I’ve seen, you’re right

Forge (code-based) Rovo agents currently don’t support adding Studio skills like readContent or using knowledge sources. That seems to be Studio/no-code only for now.

For code-based agents, the workaround is using Confluence/Jira REST APIs and passing the fetched content into the agent yourself.a
