Skills
A Skill is a reusable playbook that teaches Jarvis how to do a specific job your way. Where a prompt is a one-off instruction, a skill is a saved procedure Jarvis follows every time: draft an X post in my voice, turn research into a cited digest, write a cold-outreach sequence. Package the workflow once; run it the same way every time.
How skills work
A skill is written instructions, not code, so anyone can create one.
- Jarvis knows what's available. It sees a short list of the skills active in your workspace, each with a one-line description of when to use it.
- It loads the full playbook on demand. When a skill fits the task, because you picked it or because Jarvis recognized the job, it loads the instructions and follows them.
- It uses the tools it already has. A skill guides how Jarvis works; it uses the same tools (Brain, web search, Pages, your connected apps) to get it done.
Built-in skills
Every workspace comes with dozens of ready-to-use skills, on by default. A few of them:
| Skill | What it does |
|---|---|
| sales-outreach | Cold emails, LinkedIn outreach, sequences, discovery scripts and objection handling, grounded in your Brain. Drafts only; sending is up to you |
| content-marketing | Plans, writes and improves marketing and social content in your brand voice |
| deep-research-digest | Multi-source research returned as a digest with sources, contradictions and open questions |
| competitor-analysis | A structured look at a competitor's offer, pricing and positioning |
| inbox-triage | Sorts your Outlook inbox, drafts the replies that are needed and files the noise |
| x-post, x-article | X posts and articles in your own voice, learned from your recent posts. Drafts only |
| refresh-active-page | Reviews the page you have open and suggests improvements in place |
Browse them all under Built-in skills on the Skills page.
The Skills page
Choose Skills in the top bar. It has two lists:
- Built-in skills, written by Agently. Owners and admins choose which stay on; turn off any your agents shouldn't use.
- Written in this workspace, the skills your team wrote or imported.
Search either list, open a skill to read its full instructions and the tools it uses, and edit the ones your workspace wrote.
Write your own
Choose New skill. Describe what the skill should do, and Agently drafts it for you to review: a name (lowercase and hyphenated, e.g. weekly-investor-update, which is what you type after /), a one-line description that tells Jarvis when the skill applies, the instructions in Markdown, and the tools it usually needs. Edit anything, then save. A new skill is on for your workspace straight away.

Using a skill
- Pick it. Type
/in a chat, or choose Skills in the New task box, and pick the skill by name. - Let Jarvis choose. Describe the task normally; if an active skill fits, Jarvis uses it.
- In routines. A routine can name the skill it should follow.
Skills also travel: Claude Code and other MCP clients can list your workspace's skills and fetch any of them as a portable SKILL.md through the MCP server.
