# Skill categories

Add a skill category so each skill has one place, named for the job it helps with.

Open **Skill categories** (from **Skills**). The section is **Skill categories**. The note says **Groups for skills, named for the job (like Answering or Writing), so people find a skill where they would look. Each skill sits in one.**

## Add one

- When there are none, the page says **No skill categories yet** and **Group skills by the job they help with.**
- Choose **New skill category**. The form is titled **New skill category**.
- **Name**, then **What belongs here**. The hint says **One sentence about what goes in this category.**
- **Icon** and **Colour**. The notes say **Shown beside the category on every page that lists it** and **The soft colour behind the icon.**
- Choose **Add**.

On **Skills**, each category is a group with its own **+**, named **New skill in** that category. A new skill must pick one of these. See [Write a skill](https://falcon.com/docs/write-a-skill).
