Skills
A skill is what an employee knows how to do — not a button, a written procedure.
What a skill is
A structured workflow, in natural language: the steps, the tools to use along the way, the shape of the output, and what "good" means for it. That is what makes two employees running the same skill produce comparable work.
The library
Open Skills on any employee to see what it has and what you can add. The catalog covers:
- Content — posts, blog articles, content calendars, copy
- Social — X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Reddit, YouTube
- Research — competitor analysis, web research, trend monitoring
- Sales — cold outreach, lead qualification, follow-up
- Marketing — SEO, campaign planning, marketing psychology
- Design — logos, brand assets, image and video generation
- Data & Ops — analysis, summarisation, Airtable, Stripe, Calendar
Skills that need an account come with the connector they depend on — an X skill without a connected X account is the one thing worse than no skill, so the app is asked for up front.
Installing
From the employee's Skills tab: find it, install it, use it in the next message. Nothing to restart.
From the terminal, into your own editor rather than an employee:
That copies the skill's prompt into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode or Windsurf. It does not install it on an employee — that is the dashboard. See the CLI Reference.
Custom skills
Write your own for the workflows that are specific to your business. A skill is a Markdown file:
- What the skill does, and when to reach for it
- The steps, in order
- The output format it must produce
- Which tools and accounts it is allowed to touch
Encoding a process you already follow is usually worth more than any catalog skill: it is the part nobody else can write for you.
