The DFO assistant in [DFO Studio](../get-started/use-studio.md) loads and uses the DFO skills automatically, so you have nothing to set up. [How the DFO assistant uses skills](what-a-skill-is.md#how-the-dfo-assistant-uses-skills) explains how it picks one.

<!-- TODO: add an MCP route once the DFO MCP endpoint is public. data-mcp's search names the skills attached to the datasets it finds, and get_skill and get_skill_file load them, so an MCP client needs no copy. Link get-started/connect-your-assistant.md when it joins the navigation. -->

## How the DFO assistant uses skills

The DFO assistant is an agent too, and it reads the same skills from the knowledge graph. The `apis` repository serves them through its Skills API, and the DFO MCP server gives the assistant two tools over it: `get_skill` loads a skill's `SKILL.md` and lists its reference files, and `get_skill_file` reads one of those files.
The DFO assistant is an agent too, and it reads the same skills from the knowledge graph. The `apis` repository serves them through its Skills API, and the DFO MCP server gives the assistant one tool over it. `get_skill` loads a skill's `SKILL.md` and lists its reference files, and reads one of those files when given its `path`.

The descriptions the assistant matches against come from its data search. Skills are attached to datasets, and the search result names up to five skills attached to the datasets it found. A question about DFO itself goes straight to [`dfo-faq`](../../dfo-skills/dfo-faq/SKILL.md).
