Skills

Skills are reusable guidance for the Investigator — your runbooks, your conventions, your “here’s how we debug this” knowledge, written down once so every investigation can use it. The Investigator loads a skill when you invoke it from chat with /, or on its own when a skill’s description matches what it’s working on.

Project skills and personal skills

Skills live in two scopes, side by side in the same library:

• Project skills — skills the Investigator can load in this project. Use these for team knowledge: how your alerts are wired, what “normal” looks like for a service, the steps for a recurring incident.
• Your skills — personal skills available to you in every project. Use these for your own habits and shortcuts.

Add a skill

1. In the console, open your project’s settings and choose Skills under Agent.
2. Click Add skill and pick Project skill or Personal skill.
3. Fill in the three fields:
   • Name — kebab-case, like investigate-alb-502. Lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only. This is also the skill’s / command.
   • Description — when the Investigator should load this skill. Write it for the Investigator, not for people: a clear description is what lets it pick the skill up automatically.
   • Instructions — the guidance itself, in Markdown. Steps, checks, known causes, whatever you’d tell a new teammate.
4. Save. The skill appears in the Library immediately.

When a skill loads

• You invoke it — type / followed by the skill’s name in chat, or ask for it by name.
• It matches — the Investigator loads a skill automatically when its description matches the situation it’s investigating. This is why the description matters more than the name.

Edit or delete

Select a skill in the Library to read it. From there you can edit the description and instructions, or delete the skill — deleting asks for confirmation and removes it permanently.
