Creating a New Skill

Skills are created from the sidebar. Opening Skills and selecting + New Skill opens a window in which the new Skill is created and configured. One of the following options applies. A plain-language description defines the Skill: what it should do, what tone to enforce, and what structure to apply. The input field also supports voice input. Once the description is sent, nuwacom generates a complete Skill with a name, description, and instructions. The generated Skill appears directly in the modal, where it can be previewed, inspected, and refined before saving.
  1. Preview: The Preview button shows the Skill as it will appear when applied, including name, description, and formatted instructions.
  2. Edit: The Edit option makes the generated name, description, and instructions adjustable before saving.
  3. Try again: nuwacom generates a new version of the Skill instructions.
  4. Save skill: The Skill is saved to the library, private by default, and editable at any time.

​
Start from a Template

The Skills feature also offers a template library. Templates can be browsed by category (HR, Legal, Product, Sales, Support, Writing) or found through the search field. A selected template becomes the starting point for the Skill.

​
More Options

The three-dot menu in the modal header provides additional creation paths.

​
Build Skill from Scratch

Name, description, and instructions are entered manually. This path suits well-defined use cases where the structure is already known.

​
Import Skill

An existing Skill file in a supported format (SKILL.md, .zip, or .skill) can be imported to share or reuse Skills across workspaces.

​
Import from GitHub

A pasted repository link imports a Skill directly. This suits teams working with version control.

​
Add Your Own Files to Skills

Skills support file attachments, so custom materials feed directly into content generation. Brand guidelines, logos, reference graphics, and fonts can be attached to a Skill and are applied automatically whenever the Skill generates images, documents, or presentations.

​

  3. Maximum ZIP upload size: 100 MB (compressed)

​
Skill Limits and Activation

Up to 40 Skills can be active per user at the same time. Once this limit is reached, newly created Skills are added as inactive by default. Activating a new Skill requires deactivating an existing active Skill first. Shared Skills are inactive by default and can be activated whenever needed.

​
Call a Skill

Typing @ in the chat input applies a Skill directly. This helps when a specific Skill should be applied even though several Skills could be relevant.
  1. Type @ followed by the Skill name in the input field, for example @Customer Communication Skill.
  2. Add the request in the same message, such as “Write a follow-up email after a customer meeting. Include next steps and keep the tone professional.”
  3. Send the prompt.
nuwacom applies the selected Skill to the request automatically.
