Skills & Prompts is your personal context and prompt library. Prompts insert reusable text into the composer. Skills load a structured SKILL.md into the current turn as context.
Entry Point#
Open Skills & Prompts from the main navigation. The page has a search field and create action at the top, with separate tabs for Skills and Prompts.
| Tab | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Skills | Manage context packages for chat turns. Each Skill has a name, description, SKILL.md, and enabled state. |
| Prompts | Manage reusable prompts available from /. Each Prompt has a name, description, content, and enabled state. |
Built-in items are marked as built-in. They are usually maintained by administrators, so users can view and use them but cannot edit or delete them. Custom items belong to the current user and can be created, edited, disabled, or deleted.
Use Them in Chat#
Type / in the chat composer to open the selector. Choosing a Prompt inserts its content into the composer, which is useful for repeated openings, formats, checklists, or reusable instructions. Choosing a Skill loads it as context for the current turn and shows a selected Skill tag above the composer.
| Type | Effect on the current message |
|---|---|
| Prompt | Inserts visible text into the composer so the user can edit it before sending. |
| Skill | Sends contextual instructions with the current turn without changing the composer text or running commands. |
Selected Skills can be removed from their tags. The platform controls how many Skills can be selected per turn; when the limit is reached, the interface asks you to reduce the selection.
Create a Prompt#
In the Prompts tab, click Add and fill in the name, description, and content. The name is what appears in the / selector, and the content is the text inserted into the composer.
| Field | Guidance |
|---|---|
| Name | Keep it short, stable, and searchable, such as Weekly Summary, Code Review, or Translate to English. |
| Description | Explain when to use it so similar prompts stay easy to distinguish. |
| Content | Put the reusable prompt text here, including format requirements, checklists, or placeholders. |
| Enabled | Disabled prompts stay saved but do not appear in the selector. |
Prompts fit cases where the same text should be inserted and visible each time. They are not hidden rules; after insertion, the user can still edit them.
Create a Skill#
In the Skills tab, click Add Skill and fill in the name, description, and SKILL.md. Skills are better for stable workflows, review standards, domain background, or output constraints.
| Field | Guidance |
|---|---|
| Name | Use a short trigger name that is easy to find from /. |
| Description | State what problem the Skill helps with. |
| SKILL.md | Include context, steps, boundaries, output expectations, and cautions. |
| Enabled | Disabled Skills stay saved but do not appear in chat selection. |
A loaded Skill is only context for the current chat turn. It does not execute local commands, automatically access files, or bypass account, model, tool, or platform permissions.
Edit, Disable, and Delete#
Custom Skills and Prompts open for editing when clicked. The switch on the card enables or disables the item quickly. Delete removes it from the library and from future / selection.
Deletion cannot be undone. If an item may still be useful later, disable it instead of deleting it.
Practical Tips#
Use Prompts for content you repeatedly insert and may want to edit before sending. Use Skills for working methods, role background, or review standards. Keep Prompts concise, and avoid turning Skills into one-off tasks. One-off requirements should still be written in the current message.
