# Skill API

Skill API allows the developers to design the flow for an Intent completely in the backend using REST API.

We can define a Skill API by defining it under ***Backend API*** section.

The syntax for a Skill API is to suffix the word "Skill" in front of the Intent name -> \
${Intent-Name}Skill
