You go into Data > MapObjects > Appropriate Faction > HeroName.xdb

Here you'll find these entries towards the end:

<skills>
<Item>
<Mastery>MASTERY_BASIC</Mastery>
<SkillID>HERO_SKILL_LEARNING</SkillID>
</Item>
</skills>
<perkIDs>
<Item>HERO_SKILL_EAGLE_EYE</Item>
</perkIDs>

Notice how skills and abilities (perks) are listed by other names than in-game! You will need to go through the reference tables (GameMechanics > RefTabels > Skills.xdb) to look up the different skill- and ability names, or you can find the list in the wiki.
