Skills: Reusable Prompt Templates
Skills are pre-written prompts for tasks you do often. Instead of typing the same request every time, click a skill and it fills in the prompt for you. You can edit it before sending, or create your own.

How to Use a Skill
- Click the lightbulb icon in the composer
- Browse and click the skill you want
- Edit it if you need to (or just send as-is)
- Press Enter to send
You can also type / in the composer to search for skills by name.
Built-in Skills

Create Your Own Skills
Repetitive prompts? Build a custom skill once and reuse it forever.
In Settings > Skills:
- Click "Create New Skill"
- Give it a name and optional description
- Write your prompt (you can use {{variables}} like {{userName}} or {{currentDate}})
- Save it
- It shows up in your lightbulb menu next to the built-ins
Example: If you frequently ask the AI to write product descriptions for your Shopify store, create a skill called "Product Description" with a template that fills in product details.
Organize Your Skills
In Settings > Skills, you can:
- Mark skills as favorites (they appear at the top of the menu)
- Edit existing skills (yours or built-in ones)
- Delete skills you don't use
- Assign skills to specific modes (so they only show in certain contexts)
