Skills & Prompts is where you keep reusable instructions. Prompts insert text into the composer, and Skills load a SKILL.md as context for one turn.

Where to find it#

Select Skills & Prompts in the left sidebar. The page header has a New button and two tabs, Skills and Prompts. The search box below the tabs filters the active tab.

Each card shows a name, a short summary, and a Built-in badge when the item is administrator-managed. Custom items show an enable switch and a delete button.

DEEIX Chat Skills & Prompts

Insert a Prompt in chat#

  1. Open a chat and type / in the composer.
  2. In the menu, choose the Prompts tab, or stay on All.
  3. Select a prompt.

The prompt content is inserted into the composer at the cursor. You can edit it before sending.

Prompts are plain text, so the inserted content is visible and editable. Use them for fixed openings, formats, checklists, or repeated instructions.

Load a Skill in chat#

  1. Open a chat and type / in the composer.
  2. Choose the Skills tab, or stay on All.
  3. Select a skill.

The skill appears as a tag above the composer under Loaded skills. Select the tag to remove it. The skill is sent as context only for the current turn; it does not run commands or change the composer text.

A message can load a limited number of skills. When the limit is reached, the menu shows "Skill limit reached" with the current limit. Clear a loaded skill before selecting more. Sending too many skills fails with "Too many skills selected for this message."
