Skills

Skills are the building blocks of a spaget agent. Each skill is a focused set of instructions that teaches your AI a specific competency.

A skill is a self-contained instruction set. When you add a skill to your agent, its instructions are included in the exported configuration. Skills can be:

• Community skills — Created and shared by other spaget users
• Custom skills — Created by you for your specific needs
• Team skills — Shared within your organization (requires team plan)

Every skill has:

• Name — A descriptive title (e.g., “TypeScript strict mode”)
• Description — What the skill does
• Instructions — The actual content included in the agent configuration
• Tags — For discoverability in the library

1. Open your agent in the visual builder
2. Click Add Skill
3. Browse or search the skill library
4. Click a skill to preview its instructions
5. Click Add to include it

1. Click Create Custom Skill
2. Write your instructions
3. Add a name, description, and tags
4. Save — the skill is now available in your library

Skills are designed to be composable. A typical agent might include:

• A language/framework skill (TypeScript conventions)
• A testing skill (Vitest patterns)
• A style skill (commit messages, documentation)
• A project-specific skill (your architecture decisions)

• Be specific — “Use Vitest for testing with describe/it blocks” beats “Write tests”
• Be actionable — Include concrete examples when possible
• Keep it focused — One skill per concern, not everything in one skill
• Update regularly — Skills should evolve with your practices
