Skills

A skill is how your agent does a kind of task: the steps, what the result looks like and the rules to follow. For example, "Rewrite for social media" spells out how to write a Xiaohongshu note, an X thread or a WeChat article, and "Earnings quick read" takes every number from the source. Connections decide which apps your agent can reach; skills decide how a task is done well. They are kept apart.

How your agent uses skills

  • On its own: when what you ask matches a skill, your agent uses it without you choosing first. The steps in the conversation show "Used skill · skill name"; select it to open the skill.
  • By name: type / at the start of the message box on the home page, in a conversation or in a space, and pick a skill from the list (keep typing to filter, use the arrow keys and Enter). A skill tag appears above the box; write your request and send. Your agent follows that skill.
  • Questions, lookups and small talk need no skill, and your agent won't force one.

Skills carry no permissions of their own: sending to other people, deleting and running commands on your computer still ask you first. Using a skill costs nothing extra; the turn spends credits for the model as usual.

My skills

Save your own way of doing things as a skill, and your agent follows it next time:

  • Ask the agent to write one: in a conversation, say "Write a skill for me: …" and describe how you want that kind of task done (when to use it, the steps, the result, the rules). Your agent saves it right away; the change card in the conversation opens it or undoes it. On the skills page, New skill → Ask the agent to write one puts that sentence in the home page message box.
  • Save from a conversation: when a conversation went well, select Save as skill at the top right of the conversation. Your agent turns what you did into a general skill and saves it.

Open one of your skills on the skills page to:

  • Edit its name, "When to use it" (your agent reads this to decide when to use the skill) and the steps, in the same editor as documents;
  • Turn it off: switch off "Agent uses this skill" and your agent stops using it; it also leaves the / menu;
  • Delete it with its files, for good.

You can have up to 50 skills of your own, each up to 64 KB. Uploading skill files and importing from GitHub come later.

Skill format

Skills follow the open Agent Skills standard: a SKILL.md file that starts with a name and a description, followed by the steps in Markdown, optionally with reference files. Skills you used in other tools can come along later.

Using the API

Developers can list, read, create, change and delete skills with /api/v1/skills, and pass skill (the skill's slug) when sending a message to use one. See the API reference.
