Team skills

A skill is a reusable procedure in a SKILL.md file. It tells the AI how your team does a task. It does not train the model and never grants extra access.

#Use a skill

• In a chat, type / and pick a skill, or write /skill-name in your message.
• The AI can also find and load a skill by itself when it fits the request.
• Team skills in the sidebar lists the skills you can use.

#Where skills live

A personal skill with the same name as a team skill replaces it for you only.

#Write a skill

1. Make the folder

   Create skills/<name>/ in Files. The name uses a–z, 0–9 and hyphens, and matches the folder name.

2. Write SKILL.md

   Start with a header, then the procedure.

   ---
   name: meeting-summary
   description: Summarize permitted meeting notes into decisions, actions and open questions.
   ---
   
   # Inputs
   Ask for the source paths before reading.
   
   # Procedure and output
   Return decisions, an action table and open questions. Cite the source paths.
   

3. Check it loads

   Team skills shows a clear reason when a skill cannot load. Fix the header and try again.

Read the full SKILL.md format.

#Who can change skills

Skill managers change team skills: the owner, admins, and people or groups an admin turns on with Manages team skills. Underneath, that is simply write access to skills/ or a folder in it.

• Members can suggest a personal skill to the team. A skill manager of the target folder reviews it.
• Every change to skills/ is recorded, and the owner and admins get a notice with a link to the version history.

#Starter skills

The repository has six starter skills with fictional inputs: weekly report, sales follow-up, brand brief, expense review, new-hire guide and meeting summary. See the examples.
