Skills

Save instructions you reuse often — then apply them in any chat with /.

Overview​

Skills are reusable instruction sets for work you do again and again — for example drafting a PRD, turning notes into a weekly update, or formatting an incident postmortem. Open Skills from the left sidebar to browse what you already have, create a new skill, upload one, or start from a template. When you are in a chat, type / to pick a skill so JioAI follows those instructions for your message. Your Skills are ones you create or upload; System Skills are built-in helpers from the platform.

End-to-end flow​

A simple path to follow:

Sidebar → Skills → Search or filter (All / Your Skills / System Skills / Template) → Open a skill or Create / Upload → In chat type / → Select a Custom or System skill → Add your details → Send

How it works​

Your Skills vs System Skills:

Your Skills are custom skills you create or upload — you can edit, delete, and turn them on or off for chat. System Skills are built-in helpers maintained by the platform; you can use them but you cannot edit or delete them. On the Skills screen, use filters All, Your Skills, System Skills, or Template to focus the list. Template helps you start from a ready-made structure instead of a blank page.

Create Skill:

Click + Create Skill to write a new skill yourself. Enter a Skill Name, choose an icon, add a Description (at least 50 characters, up to 500), and write Instructions that tell the assistant exactly how to behave when the skill runs. Duplicate names are blocked until you change them. Use Generate with AI on the instructions field if you want help drafting the skill text. Create stays disabled until required fields are valid.

Upload:

Prefer a ready-made skill file? Use Upload Skill (or upload from the create flow) and choose a .md skill file. If a skill with the same name already exists, you can Cancel or choose Upload & Replace so the new file overwrites the old one.

Options:

Open a skill you own to read its instructions. From Options you can Try in Chat (apply it in a conversation), Edit (update name, description, or instructions), or Delete (with confirmation). Use the enable/disable control so the skill is available or hidden when you type / in chat. System skills do not offer Edit, Delete, or the enable toggle.

Trigger in chat:

In any supported chat, type / to open the skills list. Each skill is tagged Custom (yours) or System (platform). Select the skill you need, then add dates, names, or other specifics in your message and send — the skill’s instructions apply to that request.

Tip:

Start from a template or one System Skill for your most common weekly task, then create more as your needs grow.

Walkthrough​

1. Browse Skills​

Open Skills from the left sidebar. You see Your Skills, System Skills, and templates in one place. Search by name, or use the filters All / Your Skills / System Skills / Template to narrow the list.

If you do not have personal skills yet, use Start from a template or browse System Skills to try a built-in helper. Open any card to read what the skill does before you use it.

Browse Skills

  • Your Skills: Skills you created or uploaded.
  • System Skills: Built-in platform helpers.
  • Filters: All, Your Skills, System Skills, Template.

2. Skill options​

Open a skill you own, then use Options to Try in Chat, Edit, or Delete. You can also enable or disable the skill so it appears or stays hidden when you type / in chat.

Try in Chat applies the skill in a conversation right away. Edit lets you update the instructions when your process changes. Delete removes a skill you no longer need (you confirm first). System skills can be opened and used, but they do not offer Edit, Delete, or the enable toggle.

Skill options

  • Try in Chat: Apply the skill in a conversation.
  • Edit / Delete: Your skills only.
  • Enable / Disable: Controls whether it shows under /.

3. Create Skill — write instructions​

Click + Create Skill. Enter a Skill Name, description, and instructions that describe how the assistant should work when this skill runs, then Create.

Description needs at least 50 characters (max 500). Create stays disabled until required fields pass. Duplicate names show an error until you change them. Use Generate with AI if you want help drafting the instructions field.

Create Skill — write instructions

  • Description: Min 50, max 500 characters.
  • Generate with AI: Helps write instructions.
  • Instructions: How the skill should behave.

4. Create Skill — upload​

From Upload Skill (or the upload path in Create Skill), drag and drop or browse for a .md skill file, then upload.

If the name already exists, choose Cancel to keep the current skill, or Upload & Replace to overwrite it with the file you selected. Uploading a .md file is a fast way to add a ready-made skill without typing everything from scratch.

Create Skill — upload

  • Upload: Drag and drop or browse.
  • .md file: Fast way to add a skill.
  • Replace: Overwrite if the name already exists.

5. Trigger a skill in chat​

In chat, type / to open your skills list. Pick a Custom or System skill, add any details your task needs (dates, names, data), then send.

The skill’s instructions apply to that message so you get tailored output without pasting the same guidance every time. Stay in the same chat to refine the result or ask for a follow-up in the same style.

Trigger a skill in chat

  • /: Opens the skills list.
  • Custom / System: Tags show which kind you picked.
  • Your message: Add specifics after you select the skill.
