Once your AI tool is connected, there is nothing to learn: ask for help as you always do. Here is what happens behind that, and what you can change.
A skill is a prompt or playbook your people have written for AI.
How skills reach you
When you ask your AI tool for help, it can check with Skillacrity whether one of your company’s skills fits. If one does, Skillacrity delivers that one skill and your AI tool follows it. If none clearly fits, nothing is delivered and your AI tool answers as usual. You never search or pick.
You’re only given skills you can see, and only skills made for the AI model you’re using. Ready-made skills from Skillacrity’s library can be delivered too, after your company’s own.
To choose, your AI tool sends Skillacrity a short description of what you asked, written by the AI tool, and not the rest of the conversation. Your company keeps those requests in its request history for 13 months, unless its admins have turned request history off, or you have turned off Keep my requests in Your settings.
Skills added every time
Some skills, such as a writing style or a compliance rule, should shape everything. An admin can mark a skill to be added every time. It is then given to everyone it’s shared with, along with any skill their AI tool is given, and on its own when it is the best match for what they ask. Nobody can hide it.
Who can see a skill
Every skill has an audience, and anyone in it can see and use the skill:
| Only me and admins | Just the author, and the company’s admins. |
|---|---|
| Named people | The people the author names. |
| A team | Everyone in one team. |
| Everyone in the company | Everyone. If your company has turned on approval, an admin approves it first. |
A new skill starts with your default audience chosen, marked “(default)”, and you can pick another before you publish it. Your company’s admins set the company’s default, and you can set your own in Your settings. Admins can see every skill, and change any skill’s audience. To keep a skill private, share it with named people or a hidden team.
Anyone can create a team on the Teams page. A team is public unless it is hidden: anyone can find and join a public team, and only its members and admins can see a hidden one.
In the web app
- Skills lists the skills you can see. Search them, or filter by topic.
- Favorite a skill, and it is more likely to reach you. Find your favorites on the Skills page.
- Hide from my AI tool stops a skill reaching you, until you unhide it in Your settings. Nobody else is affected.
- Follow skills and colleagues, and pick the topics you care about. Their news shows in What’s new, and in your daily email.
- Comment on any skill you can see. Its author is told.
Suggesting an edit
Anyone who can see a skill can suggest an edit to it. The author sees the change marked up in place and approves or declines it, with a reason you can read. An approved edit becomes a new version that credits you, and everyone who uses or follows the skill is told it changed. Suggested edits lists yours, and you can withdraw one that is still waiting.
When a safety scan holds a skill
Every skill is scanned before anyone is given it. A skill holding a secret, such as a password or an API key, is rejected and never stored. A skill flagged for anything else waits for an admin, and its page shows what the scan found. Fix it, save it, and it goes to an admin again. Until an admin approves it, only you and admins can see it.
