Skills

Skills (in the account menu) are reusable capabilities you can teach your assistant — a repeatable procedure ("write the weekly report", "prep a release") written once and reused whenever it fits. They use the open SKILL.md format, so skills from Claude, Codex or OpenCode work here too.

How skills work

A skill is name + description + full instructions. The clever part is progressive disclosure: the assistant only ever sees the name and one-line description until a task actually matches — then it loads the full instructions. So you can have dozens of skills installed without cluttering every conversation or burning context on procedures you're not using right now.

Your skills

The My skills tab lists what you've got. Create one with New and fill in:

  • Name and a one-line Description — when should the assistant reach for this? (this line is always visible to it, so make it a clear trigger).
  • An optional, more precise when to use rule for finer control.
  • The full Instructions in Markdown — the actual procedure, loaded only when the skill is used.
  • Run isolated — run the skill in its own sub-agent so its work doesn't fill up the main conversation; useful for long, multi-step procedures.

You can Import a SKILL.md (or a skill ZIP) and Export any skill to share it. Idle skills are aged automatically — active → stale → archived — and reactivate the moment they're used again, so your list stays relevant without manual pruning.

The marketplace

The Marketplace tab installs skills from curated catalogs (for example, anthropics/skills) with one click. An installed skill lands inactive first — review its instructions and the tools it's allowed to use, then activate it under My skills. You'll also see when an update is available for an installed skill.

Where the catalogs come from

The catalogs offered in the marketplace are curated by your admin under Admin → Skill catalog (see Admin console). If the marketplace is empty, no catalog sources have been configured yet.
