Skills
A Skill is an on-demand package of workflow instructions and resources. The list is divided into Featured (included with the application), Imported (from GitHub or a package), and Personal (created locally). Each row shows its name, description, and enable switch.
List controls
| Control | Action |
|---|---|
Conversation imports → Skill packages | Let the agent detect attached .zip or .skill files and ask before importing them |
Filter skills by source | Filter by All, Featured, Imported, Personal, or another source |
Search skills | Filter by name or description; keyboard search works while the field is focused |
Add skill | Open the creation, upload, and import options |
| Category heading | Expand or collapse a category |
| Skill name or description | Open Detail to inspect metadata, SKILL.md, and files |
Toggle <Skill> | Set whether the agent may select or explicitly invoke the Skill |
Disabling a Skill does not delete its package. Instructions already loaded for the current agent turn are not withdrawn immediately; the change applies to later requests.
Add and edit
- Create a Personal Skill by entering its name, description, and full
SKILL.md, then save after the editor passes validation. - Upload a ZIP or Skill package, inspect Metadata,
SKILL.md, and Files, then confirm the import. - Import from GitHub by entering a supported repository or path. Review the candidate list, source, and diagnostics before importing.
- Detail may offer Edit, Export, and Delete. Featured Skills are usually view-only apart from the enable switch.
- If a revision conflict appears, refresh or compare the revisions before overwriting another edit.
The import candidate's Preview, Close preview, file list, and diagnostics help you inspect package contents. Conversation imports also pass through an Allow or Deny permission request.
Research practice
Enable only the Skills needed for the current research task so the agent has fewer irrelevant choices. A Skill that calls an external model or service may still need network access, a Connector, a runtime, or a license. An enabled Skill does not mean its dependencies are installed.
Tags, including the protected Favorites tag, can group Skills across catalogs. The management view filters by actual users (main agent and Specialists), source, status, tag, and text; bulk enable, disable, or delete validates the whole selection. Built-in and Specialist-linked Skills remain protected. The v0.25.1 catalog repair detects missing or duplicate projections and rebuilds them from the authoritative packages.
v0.26.0 imports asset-heavy Skill bundles through a bounded path designed for tens of thousands of files while preserving archive and integrity checks. Size and entry limits still apply; do not split or rename package internals to evade them. During a load_skill permission request, expand the complete Skill document and review its instructions before Allow or Deny.
