Teaching your AI skills
Skills are reusable instructions you give your AI coach — a repeatable way of working it applies whenever it's relevant.
A skill is a short, reusable instruction you teach your AI — a repeatable way of working it can apply across conversations. "When I log a meal, nudge me toward my protein target." "Keep replies to two sentences." "Always suggest a 10-minute warm-up before a workout."
Skills live in the Skills area of the Memory tab — open AI in the sidebar, then Memory.
Creating a skill
Tap New skill and fill in:
- Name — a short label ("Macro coach").
- Description — one line. Your AI sees this in its toolkit every chat, so it knows when the skill applies.
- Instructions — the full detail. The AI loads this only when it decides to use the skill, so you can be as thorough as you like.
Save it and it's on by default.
Turning skills on and off
Each skill has an Enable / Disable toggle. Only enabled skills are in your AI's toolkit — disable one to pause it without deleting it. Edit to refine it, Delete to remove it for good.
Every skill has a version
Each skill shows a version number — v3 means you (or your AI) have changed its wording three times. Every version is kept, so a skill is never quietly rewritten out from under you.
Skills that stand for a guide
Some skills are a short summary of one of your guides — a longer note you keep in your own Guides collection. The skill doesn't repeat the advice; it tells your AI when to open the guide and how to use it.
Because the guide is the real thing, the skill can fall behind it. When it does, the skill shows a badge like "digest is behind guide v4" and a Regenerate button. One tap rewrites the short summary from the guide as it reads today.
You'll see that badge after you edit the guide, and also when a source the guide quotes was corrected or deleted — see Guides and where their advice came from.
Your AI can find skills you're not looking at
Your AI sees a short list of your skills in every chat — the pinned ones and the ones you touched most recently. It can also search the rest. So a guide you built in March still gets used in October, without you having to mention it.
Skills your AI proposes
Sometimes the AI will suggest a skill of its own based on how you work together. Proposed skills show up under Awaiting your approval and stay off until you Approve them — your AI never changes how it behaves without your say-so.
