Skills: teach the Co-Pilot your method

Encode your own expertise or analytical lens, so the Co-Pilot applies your method instead of generic knowledge.

A skill encodes your own expertise — how you approach a task — so the Co-Pilot applies your method instead of generic textbook knowledge. Prompts say what to do; skills say how you do it.

When a skill earns its place

A mediator has her own way of conducting a conflict analysis: map the actor constellation first, separate positions from underlying interests, flag escalation signals in the language participants use. Asked plainly, the Co-Pilot would produce a competent, generic conflict analysis. With her conflict-analysis skill active, "analyse the conflict in this session" is answered her way — her sequence, her distinctions, her criteria.

Any repeatable method works: your evaluation rubric, your facilitation framework, your organisation's reporting standards.

Activate a skill — and the active-skill chip

  1. Click the + button below the message box and expand LibrarySkills, or type / and filter by name.
  2. Pick a skill. An Active skill chip with the skill's name appears above the message box.
  3. The skill now shapes every message you send — the whole conversation, not just the next question.
  4. To switch it off, click the small button on the chip (Clear active skill).

The chip is your reminder: as long as it is visible, answers come through that lens. Only one skill is active at a time.

Save a new skill

Open the + menu, choose Add to library... at the end of the Library section, and pick the skill type. Write it the way you would brief a skilled new colleague: the steps in order, the distinctions that matter, what a good result looks like — and what to avoid.
