Skills

A Skill is a packaged playbook your Chief of Staff can run on demand — a research pattern, a sales script, a copy framework, a launch checklist. Attach one to a chat and the conversation follows that framework end to end.

You don't write prompts. You don't memorize commands. You pick the skill, and your CoS knows the framework.

What it does for you

Two shelves on one page:

• My Skills — skills you've built or cloned, shared with your workspace. Any teammate can edit them.
• Skill Library — ready-made playbooks; the best matches for you are marked ✨ Recommended
• Filter both by category — Writing, Research, Analysis, Operations, Custom

Two buttons, two different things:

• Use Skill → opens a new chat with that skill attached. Nothing is copied anywhere — it just runs.
• Clone Skill → forks a private copy into My Skills so you can rewrite it to fit your business. Library templates stay read-only until you clone.

Let your CoS reach for them:

• Turn on auto-suggest for a skill and your CoS applies it automatically when a message matches — the skill pill in chat lights up so you always know
• A freshly cloned skill starts with auto-suggest off; flip it on in the skill's editor
• Voices (your Attractive Characters) can be attached to a skill so the output sounds like the right person

Edit it after you make it:

• Open a skill from My Skills to change the name, instructions, trigger, and reference files, then Save
• Or ask in chat — "show me my cold-email skill", "rewrite the output section", "switch it off"
• Chat can edit owned skills. It cannot edit a Library template — clone first, then ask
• A new skill is live the moment it's created. No draft state, no publish step. Auto-suggest starts off.
• If a reference failed to attach, add it to the skill you already have. Don't duplicate the skill to "repair" it — that leaves two with the same name.

References, switch off, delete:

• Reference files are markdown you paste, not a PDF or Word upload. Filenames look like swipe-file.md (lowercase letters, numbers, dashes). Chat tidies names like Brand_Spec_v1.3.md into brand-spec-v1-3.md. One file holds up to 60,000 characters.
• Re-using a filename replaces that file. The Content Library panel on the same page is a different feature (Attractive Character content), not skill references.
• Switch off in chat — reversible. The skill disappears from the Skills page list, which can look like deletion; it isn't. Ask chat to list switched-off skills and turn it back on.
• Delete is the trash icon on the Skills page. Permanent, and it takes the reference files with it. Chat will not delete a skill.

How you use it

1. Open Chief of Staff → Manage → Skills (or tap the wand icon in the chat composer — it links here too).
2. Browse My Skills or the Skill Library, filtering by category.
3. Hit Use Skill to run one right now, or Clone Skill to make it yours first.
4. In the chat, answer what the skill asks — audience, offer, context — and the result lands in the framework's structure.
5. Need to change it? Edit it on the Skills page, or tell your CoS what to change.

If you only do one thing today: hit Use Skill on one Library playbook that matches what you sell, and run it on your latest offer.
