Introduction to Skills

A Skill is a ready-made instruction pack for Zylon’s assistant. Instead of re-explaining how you want a task done every time — “format it like this,” “always include these sections,” “follow this checklist” — you (or your admin) write it once as a Skill, and then anyone with access can trigger it in chat with a click. Think of it as a repeatable recipe: a Skill named xlsx, for example, can tell Zylon exactly how to clean up, build, or fix a spreadsheet whenever you’re working with one.

Where Skills live

Skills exist at two levels:

• Organization Skills — published by an admin from the admin panel, and available to be added to any project. See Managing Organization Skills.
• Project Skills — created directly inside a single project, or installed there from the organization’s library. Visible from the Skills tab in your project sidebar.

What you can do with Skills

• Create a Skill in a project by uploading a Skill file.
• Install an organization Skill into your project without building anything yourself.
• Use a Skill in chat by picking it from the message box, or have it apply automatically to every new chat.
