Use Skills

Skills are reusable playbooks your Chief of Staff follows — research patterns, sales scripts, copy frameworks, launch checklists. Attach one to a chat and the conversation runs that framework end to end.

There are three ways a skill gets into a chat — and none of them requires "installing" anything.

What it does for you

Three ways in:

• The Skill button in the composer — the wand icon opens a picker with two tabs: My Skills (yours and your workspace's) and Skill Library (ready-made playbooks). Pick one and it attaches to the chat as a pill. Tap the pill's ✕ to detach.
• "Use Skill" on any skill card — on the Skills page, every card has a Use Skill → button that opens a fresh chat with that skill already attached. Nothing gets copied to My Skills; it just runs.
• Automatic — if a skill has auto-suggest turned on, your CoS matches your message against it and applies it on its own. When that happens, the skill pill lights up so you can see exactly which playbook is steering the conversation.

While a skill is attached:

• The skill runs step by step, asking for whatever it needs along the way
• The output uses the framework's structure, not a generic answer
• Same memory, same documents, same connected apps as any chat

Build or edit without leaving chat:

• "Create a skill that reviews an offer against the value ladder." — your CoS asks a clarifying question or two, then creates it. The skill is live immediately; references can be attached afterwards.
• "What skills do we have?" / "Show me the instructions for my cold-email skill" / "Rewrite the output section" / "Switch it off"
• "Attach this as a reference" plus pasted markdown — filenames get tidied to lowercase-dashes.md, one file up to 60,000 characters
• Chat will not delete a skill (that's the Skills-page trash icon) and will not edit a Library template. Clone first, then chat can edit your copy.
• Your own skills are editable in chat. If you're told otherwise, that answer is wrong — ask again and name the skill.

Want your own copy to edit?

• Library skill cards also have Clone Skill →, which forks a private copy into My Skills that you can rewrite
• A fresh clone has auto-suggest off — turn it on in the skill's editor if you want your CoS reaching for it automatically

How you use it

1. Open the chat and tap the wand icon in the toolbar under the message box.
2. Pick a skill from My Skills or the Skill Library — it appears as a pill above the composer.
3. Say what you want. The skill guides the conversation from there.
4. Done with it? Tap the ✕ on the pill and the chat goes back to normal.
5. Want the framework itself changed? Tell your CoS what to update so the next run starts from the better version.

If you only do one thing today: open the Skill picker, attach one Library skill that matches what you sell, and ask your CoS to run it on your latest offer.
