Skills

Skills

Skills are capability packs for the agent. When a skill is installed and its ability is relevant to what you're doing, the agent uses it automatically — you don't have to switch modes or turn anything on. Just describe what you need.

Open Skills from the left panel to browse and manage them.

Browsing and installing

The Skills page has two tabs:

• Installed — the skills the agent currently has available.
• All — the full catalogue you can install from. (This needs an internet connection.)

Use the category dropdown and the search box to find a skill. Each skill shows its name, description, version, and category. Click Install to add one, or Uninstall to remove it.

Built-in skills

The catalogue is updated over time, so the exact list you see may differ from the table below. Common built-in skills include:

Skill	What it does
Account	Your account profile, balance, and top-ups.
Web	Searches the public web and reads full pages.
Paper	Finds papers (PubMed / ArXiv / DOI) and retrieves full text.
Deep research	Cross-checks many sources and writes a cited report.
Document	Turns PDF and Word files into structured text.
Image	Generates, edits, and analyzes images — including reading text in an image.
Browser	Drives a web browser: open pages, click, type, and screenshot.
Hand-drawn posters	Creates hand-drawn, portrait-style infographic posters.
Hand-drawn slides	Creates hand-drawn sketch slides and assembles them into a PDF.
Subagent	Runs several tasks in parallel.
Skill creator	Helps you build a new skill.

The exact set of available skills, their names, and their categories come from the online catalogue — check the All tab in the app for what's currently offered.

How to use a skill

You never have to invoke a skill by hand. Once it's installed:

1. Just describe your task in the conversation as usual.
2. The agent picks up the relevant skill on its own when it fits.

As always, if the skill's work involves a risky action, the agent pauses for your approval first — see Using FutureOS.
