Quick answer

Does Perplexity Computer support skills?

Yes. Perplexity Computer accepts Agent Skills: upload a SKILL.md, or a ZIP with SKILL.md at its top level, and it works as-is if its YAML front matter is valid. Computer loads skills based on your request and can combine several in one task, next to the built-in skills Perplexity provides.
