Knowledge and workspace tools
Skills for repeatable work
A skill is instructions and supporting context for a repeatable kind of work. It helps an agent start with the right method, rather than relying on a fresh guess every time.
Find a skill before inventing a process
If the agent is new to the workspace, ask it to start with Forge orientation. Then ask it to search active skills using manage_skill with the job you need done. Read the most relevant skill before asking for work that depends on a defined method, such as a controlled workflow or a specialist output.
Skills can be workspace-specific or supplied by the platform. Search both the workspace and the platform with the same plain-language need, then read the best match from its owning workspace. Follow a procedure only when the returned skill is active; a draft can be read while someone is improving it, but is not a procedure to run.
Keep the boundary clear
A skill gives the method; it does not make a decision for you or grant access the agent does not have. Read its requirements, inputs and output limits. Supply the facts it asks for, then check the proposed result before any external or irreversible action.
A prompt to try
Search the active skills for a repeatable way to prepare a site visit. Show the best matches and why they fit. Do not run one yet.
Read the selected skill and list the information it needs from me before we begin.
Improve repeatability carefully
When a process keeps recurring, a maintained skill can make it easier to follow. Change a skill only when you can describe the improved method and test it against the intended work.
