# Skills Basics

> Learn what NoimosAI Skills are and how to invoke them in Chat.

## Overview

`Skills` are saved settings for work procedures, decision criteria, and output rules that you use repeatedly in a workspace.

When you invoke a Skill in Chat, you can ask NoimosAI to follow the same process and quality standards without typing the same instructions every time.

## What Skills Manage

Skills can store:

* The purpose of the task
* Rules that must be followed
* Background information to reference
* Output format and tone
* Quality criteria to check

## When to Use Skills

Skills are useful when you want to:

* Standardize rules for creating posts or articles
* Switch writing rules by customer or brand
* Avoid entering the same instructions in Chat every time
* Reuse a specific workflow across the team

## Use Skills in Chat

Skills are invoked from the Chat input.

### Select from the + Button

1. Select the `+` button in the Chat input.
2. Select `Skills`.
3. Select the Skill you want to use.

After you select a Skill, it is added to the beginning of the input in the `/{Skill name}` format.

### Type / to Select

When you type `/` in the Chat input, available Skill suggestions appear.

Select a Skill from the suggestions to add `/{Skill name}` to the input, then continue typing your request.
