Skills

Invoke reusable instructions and review Skills suggested from proven command sequences.

Invoke reusable instructions

A Skill is a named set of instructions for a repeatable workflow. Type / at the beginning of the composer to see commands and available Skills. Choose one, review the inserted request, and send it with your objective. You can also explicitly ask to use a named Skill.

Repository-authored Skills live in .skyflo/skills/<name>/SKILL.md. The available list is scoped to the mission's repositories and bounded by the instruction budget. An omitted or unloaded Skill should not be assumed to have guided the turn.

Skills learned from work

Skyflo can suggest a command sequence after every step has succeeded and supporting evidence exists in at least two repositories. That creates a candidate, not permission to run it automatically.

A matching independent endorsement or your approval can admit a valid suggestion. The content checks still reject secrets and permission grants. Approval of a Skill does not authorize every command in every future situation.

Review and revert

Suggested Skills appear in Needs attention. Promoted Skills appear in Memory › Improvements, with the content and judgment recorded. Revert a promoted Skill there when it no longer fits. Future tasks use the earlier applicable version or stop using the Skill, depending on the history.

Learned Skills are repository-scoped. Evidence from two repositories does not make a Skill globally available everywhere. Repository-authored Skill files are separate from the learned Improvements record.
