Why Use Skills?
- Consistency — Every conversation that uses a skill follows the same instructions.
- Reuse — Write guidance once, then apply it across chats, projects, and agents.
- Sharing — Package expertise and share it with individual teammates or entire teams.
- Less setup — Ready-made skills from the library cover common tasks out of the box.
Opening Manage Skills
The “Skills” item in the left sidebar opens the “Manage Skills” modal in place — there’s no separate page to navigate to.Skills are gated by a feature flag and team permissions. If you don’t see the “Skills” item, your team may not have it enabled yet, or an admin hasn’t granted you access.
The Table at a Glance
Manage Skills opens to a table with two tabs that show counts: “Your skills” and “Shared with you”. Each row includes:| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Skill | The skill’s id (slug) |
| Last updated | When it last changed |
| Used in | Usage counts, e.g. “3 chats, 2 agents” |
| Author | ”You” for skills you own |
| Enabled | A per-row toggle |
| ⋯ | An actions menu (edit, share, export, delete, and more) |
Custom vs Library Skills
- Custom skills are ones you create or upload yourself. You can edit, share, and export them.
- Library skills are ready-made templates maintained by Generate. You enable them with “Add” and disable them with “Remove”. Library skills can’t be shared.
