Skills Deep Dive
Skills are reusable workflows your agent follows for a type of task. Auteryn provides a library of them, and you can write or add your own.
What is a skill?
Section titled “What is a skill?”A skill teaches your agent how to perform a specific type of task:
- Instructions — step-by-step guidance
- Required integrations — which connections the workflow expects
- Output format — how results should be structured
- Best practices — domain-specific tips
Skill categories
Section titled “Skill categories”DevOps and security
Deploys, incident response, cloud cost and defensive security reviews.
Data and finance
Data analysis, SQL, spreadsheets, reconciliations and the month-end close.
Sales and marketing
Outreach, deal reviews, RFPs, content, SEO and email campaigns.
Customer support
Customer answers from Knowledge, help articles and feedback themes.
Research and productivity
Web research, briefings, meeting notes, documents and scheduling.
Design, media and automation
Slide decks, audio briefings, accessibility audits, Goals and Loops.
Using skills
Section titled “Using skills”- Open your agent → Skills section
- Enable skills from the library
- To run one directly, type
/at the start of the message box and pick it. You can also ask for it in words: “Using the code review skill, review PR #45”
Skills are attached at configuration time, and each one has an Invocation setting for who can start it. With Automatic, the agent picks it when it fits and you can ask for it by name; the other choices are On request only and Agent only. While a skill is in effect a Following Skill: pill in the run header names it.
A skill can also narrow what the agent is allowed to do while following it — it can never widen it. See Using Skills →.
Creating custom skills
Section titled “Creating custom skills”- Go to Console → Skills → Create skill
- Write instructions as a standard operating procedure
- Select Create skill. Every Internal agent can use it until you attach it to specific agents
You can also add a skill from a link — a GitHub repository or folder, a skills.sh page, or a direct SKILL.md link — since Auteryn uses the open Agent Skills (SKILL.md) format. Paste the link, review a preview and safety check, and install. See Adding a skill from a link →.
On paid plans, an agent can also suggest a skill. After a successful run of eight or more actions in a shared conversation, it may draft one from what it just did, at most once a day. Drafts appear under Skills → Proposed by your agents: activate one to make it available to every agent in your organization, or dismiss it.
See Using Skills → for the full walkthrough.
