Using skills

Run a skill in chat

• Pick it yourself. Type / and choose from Skills. The skill goes into your message as a pill.
• Let Eden pick. When your request matches a skill's description, the AI uses it on its own.

A skill applies to the message you send it with. For the next message, pick it again, or let Eden pick it when it fits. You can add up to 8 skills to one message.

When a reply used a skill, a small pill with the skill's name sits above it. Click the pill to go to Settings → Skills, where you can turn it on or off. In Eve, it opens Memory at the Skills section.

Skills also work inside Custom AI chats. The Custom AI keeps its knowledge and the skill adds its method.

Add your own skill

Go to Settings → Skills and click Add skill.

Option	What happens
Create in chat	A chat interviews you and saves the skill when you say yes. Click Undo on its card to take it back. You can also just say "turn this into a skill" in any chat.
Write skill instructions	A form with a name, description, and instructions.
Upload a skill	Drop in a .md file, or a .zip with a SKILL.md and reference files.

If the name matches an existing skill, choose Replace or Keep both.

The description tells the AI when to use the skill. The instructions tell it how. Skills are shared with everyone in the workspace.

The writing skills first check what's working right now on your topic in Discover, then shape the draft after a proven post and tell you which one, with a link.

On Agency Lite and Agency, agency and client workspaces also get three research skills:

Skill	What it does
industry-research	Finds top posts in a client's niche and saves them to a research board.
pattern-sweep	Sorts a research board into patterns and writes up what to make.
hook-breakdown	Fills a hook table: text, verbal, and visual hook, topic, idea seed.

You can view and export built-ins, but not edit or delete them. Use the switch next to one to turn it off for the whole workspace.

Export a skill

Hover a skill in Settings → Skills and click Export skill. You get the file exactly as stored, or a .zip if it has reference files. It works as-is in Claude Code, Claude.ai, and other tools that read SKILL.md.

Manage skills from Claude or another AI

If you've connected an AI assistant, it can list, read, import, and export your skills. Try "export my newsletter skill from Eden and install it here."
