Creating custom skills
Save a workflow you repeat as your own skill, and run it any time with a slash command.
Create a skill
Ask Proto in plain language, for example: “Save how we just built the vendor scorecard as a skill called vendor-scorecard.” Tell Proto:
- the skill’s name
- when it should be used
- the steps or rules it should follow
The skill is available right away as a slash command.
What’s inside a skill
A skill contains instructions for Proto, and can include reference documents and assets such as templates or logos.
Choose where it’s available
| Scope | Available in | How to ask |
|---|---|---|
| Workspace (default) | The current workspace only | “Save this as a skill.” |
| Global | All workspaces on your computer | “Save this as a skill for all projects.” or “Make this skill available everywhere.” |
Edit or delete a skill
- “Update the vendor-scorecard skill to include on-time delivery.”
- “Delete the vendor-scorecard skill.”
Note: Custom skills can’t reuse the name of a built-in skill.
