# Setup All initialisation that might be required for your skill can go to the `__init__` method, which takes `opsdroid` and `config` as its arguments. ```python class MySkill(Skill): def __init__(self, opsdroid, config): super(MySkill, self).__init__(opsdroid, config) # do some setup stuff here ``` **IMPORTANT** Always remember to chain up to the `__init__` method of the `Skill` class, or your skill won’t work!
