  <p>I've completed the deployment of the bot using the scripts and it works fine when running it on the Bot Emulator. However, there are no skills linked to it and for the life of me I can't figure out how to deploy the prebuilt skills to the virtual assistant I made.</p>
  
  <p>I'm currently running this for the C# version of the bot on Visual Studio 2019 community edition. This didn't seem to be so hard last year when I ran through the process. I believe the skills were already attached to the bot I deployed. Not sure what changed or if I'm just overlooking something obvious. Any help would be appreciated.</p>
