Skills

A skill is a named instruction bundle. Loading one injects its instructions into the provider requests for the current logical turn, without touching the conversation.

Loading

Skills are selected by exact catalog name, or matched through catalog metadata when a request names a technique rather than a skill. The /skills command lists what is available in this workspace.

What loading does

Loaded instructions are injected ephemerally: they influence the requests that follow in the turn and then stop. They are not stored as conversation history and do not persist into later turns. For standing advice that should apply to many turns, use the request-local context described in Context tuning.
