As an AI developer, you can create custom skills with Now Assist Skill Kit. For this example, create a custom skill for child incident summarization.

As an AI developer, you must create a skill for child incident summarization. Creating this skill can help you organize and understand multiple incidents that are related to the same parent.

## Create and configure the skill {#example-na-skill-kit__section_csg_fmk_mcc}

To create the skill:

1. Navigate to AllNow Assist Skill KitHome.
2. Select Create new skill.
3. On the form, fill in the fields. The following information is used to fill in the form for this example:
   * Skill name: <kbd class="ph userinput">Child incident summarization</kbd>
   * Description: <kbd class="ph userinput">Summarization of child incidents</kbd>
   * Default provider: <kbd class="ph userinput">Now LLM Generic</kbd>
   * Provider API: <kbd class="ph userinput">Now LLM Generic</kbd>

   {#example-na-skill-kit__ul_uy4_dtf_ncc}

4. Select Create skill.
{#example-na-skill-kit__ol_sx1_xsf_ncc}  
After you create the skill, you must configure the skill settings.

1. Select Configurations.
2. Select the model that you want to use. For this example, you can select <kbd class="ph userinput">llm_generic</kbd>.
3. Select a temperature between 0-1 to determine the randomness and creativity of the output, such as <kbd class="ph userinput">0.2</kbd>.
{#example-na-skill-kit__ol_dzf_h4p_ncc}

## Develop the prompt {#example-na-skill-kit__section_epc_3mk_mcc}

After you create the skill and configure the settings, you must develop the prompt. To follow this example, you can use the following prompt:

You are a customer service representative. Summarize the child incidents of the below given parent incident. The summary should contain key issues and impact across the child incidents, highlighting any patterns, recurring problems, or significant outliers. When summarizing, please consider the following: Parent incident short description: {{incident.short_description}} Parent incident description: {{incident.description}} Here are the child incident details: {{ChildIncidents.output}}

Select the Inputs for the skill. For this example, the record is selected as the input.

Select insert inputs for the prompt.

For this example, the following is used:

<kbd class="ph userinput">Parent incident short description: {{incident.short_description}} Parent incident description: {{incident.description}} Here are the child incident details: {{ChildIncidents.output}}</kbd>

Select the tools for the skill. For this example, select Flow Action and the IncidentDetailsFetcher flow resource.

## Configure the skill deployment options {#example-na-skill-kit__section_imc_nmk_mcc}

The next step is to configure the skill deployment options. These options enable you to choose where to find the skill in Now Assist Admin.

1. Select the Skill settings tab.
2. Select Deployment Settings.
3. Enable the admin to enable the skill from the Core UI by selecting the UI Action check box.
4. Select Save.
{#example-na-skill-kit__ol_cgz_cpp_ncc}

## Test and publish the skill {#example-na-skill-kit__section_xcl_4mk_mcc}

It is important to test your skill prompt to ensure that the correct type of data is being pulled in.

1. Select Run tests.
2. Choose a record or incident.
3. Select Run test.
{#example-na-skill-kit__ol_fnm_4pp_ncc}

Look at the response.

To see the data that was brought into the prompt from your skill inputs and tools, you can look at the grounded prompt tab.

If everything looks good, select Finalize prompt. After you finalize the prompt and you are ready to implement it, select Publish.

## Activate the skill {#example-na-skill-kit__section_epv_qmk_mcc}

After you test, finalize, and publish your skill, an admin must activate it in Now Assist Admin. To learn more about activating skills, see [Activate a skill](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/T2gjqog3Sh_Wx4YnuTl2Qg "After you create and publish a custom skill, you must activate it in Now Assist Admin. Activating the skill enables you to trigger the skill within the UI.").
