Skillchip

Skillchips are slottable ROM chips used in chipjack cyberware, granting instant access to skills, abilities, and knowledge that the cyborg otherwise wouldn't have. Novice and beginner-level skills can be bought pretty easily, but expert-level chips are notoriously difficult to come by.
Knowledge-based skillchips (sometimes called 'knowsofts') only require a chipjack to use, though some cyberdecks are outfitted with slots that allow a decker to access knowledge chips while jacked in to her cyberdeck.
Physical skillchips require both a chipjack and control wires to be able to use effectively. Without control wires linking a cyborg's chipjack to her nerves and muscles, her brain might technically know kung fu, but her body won't. With skill wires, the reflexes and instincts that come with practice are also gained.
