Skills

A skill is a short guide written in plain text that tells the copilot how your organization does a particular thing. When your request matches a skill, the copilot loads it and follows it.

Why they're useful#

• Consistency. Everyone's copilot follows the same house rules.
• No retyping. Write the instructions once; reuse them in every chat.
• Easy to update. Change the skill and every future answer changes with it.

Skills vs. other things#

Creating a skill#

1. Open Explore › Skills and create a new skill.
2. Give it a name and a short description that says when it applies. The copilot uses this to decide whether to load it.
3. Write the instructions in Markdown. Headings, lists and bold text all work, and a live preview shows what it will look like.
4. Choose its scope: personal, group or organization.
5. Save.

Or just ask: “Create a skill for how we write customer apology emails.” The copilot drafts it, and you confirm.

Using a skill#

• It's loaded automatically when the copilot judges it relevant.
• Or pick it from the + menu to use it deliberately.
• You can also give a skill to an agent through its Resources tab.

Built-in skills#

Space ships with built-in how-to guides the copilot uses to do things well, such as how to design a playbook or analyse a spreadsheet. You don't manage these. The copilot loads the right one before it creates or edits something.

Requiring approval#

A skill can be marked Requires approval. Then, before the copilot uses it, a person must say yes. This is useful for skills that unlock sensitive procedures. Once approved, the skill stays loaded for that conversation.
