A skill is the learned or innate ability to act with determined results and good execution often within a given amount of time, energy, or both. Skills can often be divided into domain-general and domain-specific skills. Examples of general skills include time management, teamwork, leadership, and self-motivation. In contrast, domain-specific skills would be used only for a certain job, e.g. operating a sand blaster. Skill usually requires certain environmental stimuli and situations to assess the level of skill being shown and used.
A skill may be called an art when it represents a body of knowledge or branch of learning, as in the art of medicine or the art of war. Although the arts are also skills, there are many skills that form an art but have no connection to the fine arts.
