Skills

A skill is a reusable set of instructions your agents can run. Skills capture a repeatable task — building a report, drafting a routine, writing a blog strategy — so anyone on your team can trigger it consistently.

Using skills

In chat, type / to see the skills available in your workspace, then pick one. Each skill has a short handle (its slash command), a display name, and a description of what it does.

Where skills come from

• Built-in skills ship with Strive — for example create_routine, update_routine, and report_builder.
• Your own skills can be authored by your team on the Skills page.
• Installed skills can be added from the Strive repository.

Anatomy of a skill

Every skill has:

• a handle — the /short-name you type to run it,
• a name and description shown in the skill picker, and
• content — the Markdown instructions the agent follows.

Tip

Skills are the fastest way to standardize how your team does recurring work. If you find yourself typing the same multi-step prompt often, turn it into a skill.
