Skills, Skill Guard and /learn
Give bots written know-how, check every skill for red flags, and teach new skills from a conversation.
Find skills
Step 1
Open the Skills settings
Open SettingsSkills. You'll see:
- Your skills: skills you've imported, learned or switched on.
- Library: 2,237 skills to browse by topic or search. Read any skill before you use it.
- For your Chief of Staff: the built-in Chief of Staff guide.
You're done when: you see your skills, the library and the Chief of Staff guide.
Add a skill to a bot
Step 1
Open the bot's Skills tab
Open Bot settingsSkills and choose Add a skill.
You're done when: you see the bot's skills.
Step 2
Switch it on or off
Use Enable and Disable to switch a skill on or off for that bot.
You're done when: the skill shows as on for that bot, or off.
Import a skill
Step 1
Choose Import skill
In SettingsSkills, choose Import skill.
You're done when: the Import a skill panel is open.
Step 2
Pick what to import
You can import a SKILL.md file, a folder, a zip, or a link to a skill. An imported skill is checked for red flags first and is switched on for no bot until you choose.
You're done when: Skill Guard shows a result for it.
Skill Guard
Every skill is checked by Skill Guard when you import it, install it, switch it on or edit it, and again each time Murage starts. There are three results:
- Clean, shown with a shield, or Built-in for library skills: ready to use.
- Needs a look: Skill Guard found something worth reading. It only switches on after you choose Use it anyway.
- Blocked: it can't be switched on, and it's switched off if it was on.
Teach a skill with /learn
/learn turns something you describe into a new skill. It's on by default.
Step 1
Check Teach a skill
The switch is on by default. To check it, open SettingsSkills; Teach a skill is at the top.
You're done when: the Teach a skill switch is on.
Step 2
Type /learn in a chat
In a chat with a bot whose engine supports it, type /learn followed by what to learn:
/learn how we just wrote this week's investor update
You can point it at a description, a web address, a folder, or "what we just did". The bot writes the skill, and a card asks you to Enable it. Nothing is used until you do. Learned skills show as Learned in chat in the bot's skills.
You're done when: a card asks you to Enable the new skill.
How good a learned skill is depends on the bot's engine. Read it before you enable it.
Edit a skill
Open any skill in SettingsSkills to read it, edit it in the editor, or duplicate it and change the copy.
