​
Create a Skill with chat

You can describe the task you want in everyday language; you do not need to write code.
  1. First, install the organization Skill Skill Creator in your project. Open Skills > New Skill > Install from organization, find Skill Creator, and click Install. If it is not available, ask your organization admin to make it available.
  2. Return to Skills > New Skill and choose Create with Chat. Zylon opens a new chat with Skill Creator selected for you.
  3. Describe what you want the new Skill to do. Answer the assistant’s questions and ask for changes until the instructions fit your task.
  4. Download the .skill file the assistant provides, then upload and install it in the project. You can then select your new Skill in chat to try it.
For example:
Help me create a Skill that turns our weekly support notes into a short report. Include the main problems, what we fixed, and what still needs attention. Use plain language and bullet points.
Create with Chat appears only when Skill Creator is installed and enabled in this project. A project admin or editor can install it; viewers should ask one of them for help. If your operator has disabled code execution in Workspace, Skill Creator cannot run the code steps needed to package and test a Skill. See Code execution.

​
Create a Skill in the editor

Choose Skills > New Skill > Create from editor. Fill in the name, description, and Skill Instructions, then save. Use this option if you already know the instructions you want the assistant to follow.

​
