# Manual Triggering

You can trigger skills manually — through the robot's web app or the Innate Controller App — bypassing the AI agent. This is useful for testing, debugging, or directly controlling the robot.

## From the Web App

On the robot's web app (including the [simulator](/simulator/setup)):

1. Go to the **teleop** page.

2. Click **Skills**.

3. Select the skill you want to run.

The robot executes the skill immediately, without going through the agent's reasoning loop.

## Using the Skills Tab for Code-Defined Skills

1. Open the **Innate Controller App**

2. Navigate to the **Skills** tab.

3. Select a skill then press **Execute**

The robot will execute the skill without going through the agent's reasoning loop.

For skills that take parameters, the app shows input fields for each argument.

## Directly in Manual Control for Policy-Defined Skills

1. Go to the **Home** tab

2. Press **Manual**

3. Select a skill in the dropdown then press the ▶️ button.

The robot will execute the skill without going through the agent's reasoning loop.
