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 the agent can follow 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 consistently forever.
This is a big part of what makes Agently adaptable: you're not stuck with how the agent works out of the box. You extend it.
How Skills Work
A skill is a set of written instructions, not code, so anyone can create one. Here's the flow:
- Jarvis knows what's available. It sees a short list of every skill installed in your workspace, each with a one-line description of when to use it.
- It pulls in the full playbook on demand. When a skill fits the task (because you invoked it, or because Jarvis recognized the job) the agent loads that skill's full instructions and follows them, step by step.
- It uses the tools it already has. A skill guides how Jarvis works; it draws on the same tools (Brain, web search, Pages, your connected apps) to get it done.
This keeps things fast and focused: the agent only loads a skill's detail when it's actually needed.
Built-in Skills
Every workspace comes with ready-to-use skills, always on:
| Skill | What it does |
|---|---|
| x-article | Drafts an X (Twitter) article about what's trending, written in your own voice. Learns your style from your recent posts. Produces a draft, it doesn't post for you. |
| x-post | Writes a single short X post on a topic you give, in your voice. Draft only. |
| sales-outreach | Cold emails, LinkedIn outreach, multi-step sequences, discovery scripts, account plans, and objection handling, grounded in your Brain. |
| content-marketing | Plans, writes, and optimizes marketing and social content in your brand voice. |
| content-brief | Builds a structured content brief for a topic and saves it as a workspace Page. |
| deep-research-digest | Runs multi-source research and returns a structured digest with cited sources, contradictions, and open questions. |
| refresh-active-page | Reviews the Page you have open, finds improvements, and applies them in place (asking first for big changes). |
The Skills Marketplace
Open Skills in your workspace to browse the marketplace. You can:
- Browse the catalog, filtered by category (marketing, sales, support, content, finance, design, productivity, and more).
- Preview any skill (read its full instructions and see which tools it uses) before you commit.
- Install / uninstall skills into your workspace. Installed skills become available to Jarvis for everyone on your team.
Skills are installed per workspace, and you can have up to 25 installed at once (built-ins don't count toward the limit).
Author Your Own
The real power is writing skills for your team's playbooks. From the My Skills tab, create a skill with:
- Name, lowercase, hyphenated (e.g.
weekly-investor-update). This is what you type after/in chat. - Description, a one-line summary of when to use it (up to 500 characters). This is how Jarvis knows when the skill applies, so make it clear.
- Category, to help others find it.
- Instructions, the playbook itself, in Markdown (up to 16 KB). Write it like you'd brief a capable teammate: steps, rules, tone, examples.
- A reference list of tools the skill typically uses, shown for clarity.
Short on time? Write with AI turns a plain-language description of what you want into a first-draft skill you can edit.
Publishing to the marketplace
Custom skills follow a simple lifecycle so the shared catalog stays high quality:
Draft → Submit for review → Approved → available to install
You author a skill as a draft, private to your workspace. Submit it for review, and once approved it joins the marketplace catalog for any workspace to install. Editing an approved skill returns it to draft until it's re-approved, so what's published always matches what was reviewed.
Using a Skill
Two ways:
- Invoke it directly. In the Command Center chat, type
/and pick the skill by name. - Let Jarvis choose. Describe the task normally; if an installed skill fits, Jarvis applies it on its own.
Skills also work when Jarvis delegates: the specialist sub-agents it spins up can follow your skills too.
