What are custom skills?

Custom skills are markdown instruction documents that you define for your organization. When a browser session starts, your skills are automatically loaded into the container so the agent can discover and use them — giving it domain-specific knowledge about how to handle tasks in your application.

​
How it works

  1. You create a skill in the Skills tab on the Simplex dashboard, providing a name, description, and markdown content
  2. When a session starts, all skills for your organization are written as SKILL.md files inside the container
  3. The agent discovers available skills and can invoke them when the task matches the skill’s description

​
Using skills in workflow prompts

To make sure the agent uses a specific skill during a workflow, reference it in your prompt: 
When doing X task, make sure to use the {skill_name} skill.
