Add a skill

A skill teaches Aureole a way of working: write minutes your way, follow a procedure, use your document templates. It’s a folder, with a SKILL.md file that says when to use it and how. This guide shows how to import it, how to write it, and what Aureole does with it.

Import a skill

In Settings›Skills, click the  button, at the bottom of the list, and choose the skill’s folder. Aureole copies it, turns it on, and shows it:

The switch, at the top, turns it on or off for all your conversations. The  button, at the bottom of the list, deletes it, with its files.

Write a SKILL.md

The file starts with a header, between two lines of three dashes, then come the instructions, in Markdown:

• name: the skill’s name, in lowercase letters, digits and hyphens, 64 characters at most;
• description: what it does and when to use it, on a single line, 1,024 characters at most: it’s what the model reads to decide;
• optional: version, author, and tags, a list of words.

The folder can hold other files: examples, templates, scripts.

How Aureole uses it

With every message, the model sees the name and description of your skills that are on; when one fits, it loads it, and follows its instructions until the end of the conversation. You can also ask: “use the minutes skill”.

A tag equal to an attached file’s type, like pdf or docx, or to the name of an app Aureole drives, like excel or mail, loads the skill by itself when that file or app is involved.
