Skills
Create reusable guidance packages and attach them to your agents.
Skills are reusable guidance assets.
Each skill includes:
- a name
- a description
- a
SKILL.md - optional supporting files
From the Skills UI, you can:
- create a new skill
- import a skill from GitHub
- open a skill and browse its files
- edit custom skills directly in the app
- upload additional files into a custom skill
- attach selected skills to an agent from the agent form
Built-in skills can be read-only. Custom skills can be edited or deleted.
The Skills tab starts with create and import actions. If your workspace has no skills yet, Cofounder shows an empty state with those same actions.
When To Use A Skill
Use a skill when:
- the guidance should be shared across multiple agents
- the instructions are deep enough that they deserve their own file
- you want supporting reference files, not just one text box
Use agent custom instructions when the guidance is specific to one agent and does not need its own reusable package.
