How it works
1
Write down your process
Describe how you want a specific kind of task done, in plain language — a short brief covering the instructions, the same way you’d write a note for a new colleague. You can type it directly, or paste in an existing
SKILL.md file and the console will parse it for you.2
Scope it
Choose who it applies to: just you personally, a specific workspace or team, and either every coworker or a specific one. A skill only for how your team formats Excel reports might be scoped to Alex; a house style for written reports might apply to everyone.
3
Save it — it's live immediately
No approval step, no waiting on a contact. The moment you save it, coworkers in scope start following it for that kind of task.
There’s a limit of 10 custom skills per person, up to 20 files each, 256KB per file and 1MB total per skill — plenty of room for real instructions, briefs, and reference material. A custom skill’s name can’t collide with a built-in skill’s name.
An example
Say your team always wants competitor reports formatted a certain way. You might write:“Always start a competitor report with a one-page executive summary, then the detailed findings, then a data appendix. Keep the summary to five bullet points.”Once saved, every coworker in scope follows that structure automatically — no need to repeat it in every request.
