Skill Creator
Skill Creator builds a new skill from a plain description — the assistant does the structuring, you never fill in a form.
Available to environment administrators only.
How to Start
In the AI ChatBot, ask in your own words:
“I’d like to create a skill” “Build me a skill that answers questions about X”
The assistant explains what a skill is, gives examples relevant to your environment, and asks what you need.
The Flow
- You describe the need — a sentence or two. “When someone asks about X, look at Y and show Z.”
- The assistant drafts it all — name, description, example questions, steps, and any reference queries.
- It may ask one or two questions — only where a real choice matters, such as “a similar skill exists: extend it or create a new one?” It will not ask you to write the skill’s content.
- You review the draft and correct it in plain language — “swap those two steps”, “also cover the case where…”.
- It saves as an inactive draft after validation.
- You activate it when ready.
The assistant never activates anything itself — nothing reaches users until you enable it.
Useful to Mention
- The kind of question users will ask, in their words
- What a good answer looks like — table, chart, number, key columns
- Any rule that must always hold, or mistake to avoid
- Whether an existing skill nearly covers it
If you do not know a detail, say so and correct the draft afterwards.
Validation
The draft is checked before saving. If something is wrong, the assistant says what is blocking and revises rather than saving something broken. Reference queries it writes are read-only — a skill can never modify your data.
Tips
- Start narrow — one well-scoped skill beats one that tries to cover everything
- Correct in plain language rather than rewriting the draft yourself
- Test before activating — see Skills
- Check the description carefully — it decides whether the skill is ever used
- Iterate once you see how it behaves in real conversations
