Skill System
Skills represent general proficiencies that improve through use.
Viewing skills: Type skills or skill to see your current proficiencies.
Practicing: practice <skill> to actively train a skill.
Trainers: train <skill> at a trainer NPC for faster gains.
Skills grow from unfamiliarity toward mastery. Greater proficiency improves your effectiveness at related tasks and may unlock new recipes, dialogue options, or interactions.
Skill categories include investigation, lockpicking, cooking, smithing, alchemy, herbalism, and more. Every skill also has its own direct help topic, so help tracking or help first aid will give you practical guidance. Direct skill topics label whether their contextual world behavior is Live or Planned; planned skills can still be practiced or trained.
