Create and Edit Skills

​

Overview

Skills are created and edited from Customize > Skills. Save shared instructions and rules as Skills so they can be invoked and reused in Chat.

Ways to Create a Skill

You can create a Skill from Create from scratch or Create with chat.

Tips for Writing Skills

Write Skills as reusable instructions for Chat. Like common AI skills, they should make it clear what to do, in what order, and by what standards when invoked.

• Keep the Skill name short and purpose-specific
• Use the description to explain what requests the Skill is for
• Define the Skill’s purpose and target task first
• Make required input information explicit
• Write execution steps in order
• Specify constraints, prohibited actions, and tone
• Specify the output format
• Define priorities for ambiguous cases
• Include good output examples or review criteria

For example, for a post review Skill, separate Purpose, Review Criteria, Revision Rules, and Output Format so reviews use the same standards every time.

​

Edit a Skill

Open an existing Skill to edit it. On the Skill edit screen, you can update the Skill name, description, and instructions. You can also update an existing Skill by using Edit with chat to consult with Chat while revising it.
