Skills
Create, import, and use reusable capability packages based on the Agent Skills format.
A Skill contains a name, description, and Markdown instructions. Agent can match Skills from their descriptions or invoke user-visible Skills through the slash menu.
Global and workspace Skills
| Type | Location and scope |
|---|---|
| Global Skills | Stored in NoteGen's global Skill directory and available to every workspace |
| Workspace Skills | Stored in the current workspace's skills directory and available only there |
Workspace Skills follow workspace backup and sync. They are not indexed as ordinary knowledge-base documents.
Create and edit
A Skill requires at least SKILL.md. The settings editor supports:
- name and description used for matching;
- version and author;
- visibility in the slash menu;
- allowed tools, which can reduce repeated approval under the Skill rules;
- Markdown instructions.
Instructions should define when to use the Skill, expected input, steps, output format, and safety boundaries. Never embed API keys or secrets.
Import and export
Import a ZIP containing SKILL.md, or export a global Skill for sharing. Inspect instructions and allowed tools first. A Skill does not automatically install undeclared external programs.
Automatic matching
When Skills and Auto Match are enabled, Agent compares user input with Skill descriptions. Specific descriptions reduce false matches. If matching is unreliable, disable it and invoke /skill-name manually.
Agent Skills is an open format. Metadata, tool permissions, and runtime support can differ across products, so inspect imported Skills after moving them between applications.
