# Set Keypoint Skeletons ## Keypoint Skeletons Keypoint Skeletons are a necessary part of a **Keypoint Detection project**. The skeleton informs the number of keypoints in your objects, as well as their default positions, names, colors, and edges. Before labelling [go to your project Classes](/datasets/manage-datasets/manage-classes.md) and set up your skeletons. After adding the name for your class (the overall object name, such as person, or car), you will select Edit Keypoints.

Edit Keypoints button is on the Classes page

### Skeleton Editor Click anywhere to create your first point, and name it. Then you can keep creating points, or select a point to create an edge, edit the color, or delete it.

Once you are done editing, click Save, and continue to upload and label your images. Your skeleton should show up inside the annotation bounding box. See [how to label Keypoints](/annotate/annotate-keypoints.md). --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
