User skills
Your personal skills, tied to your account and available in every drawing you open.
User skills are your own personal skills. Unlike project skills, which belong to a single drawing, user skills follow you — they're tied to your account and available in any drawing you open.
Use them for the way you like to work, regardless of the project: your preferred conventions, recurring procedures, and shorthand you use across jobs.
How they behave
- They appear in the skill list with a User badge and are mentioned with
/like any other skill. See Using skills. - They take highest precedence: if a user skill shares a name with a project or built-in skill, your version wins. See Sources and precedence.
- They use the same format as project skills — a markdown note with a
name, adescription, and a body of guidance. See the skill file format.
Managing your skills
Open menu (cog) → Manage skills in the panel (or Manage skills at the bottom of the input options menu). It opens as its own view with a back arrow to return to the chat — your conversation keeps running underneath, even mid-response. The My Skills tab lists your skills and lets you:
- Create — New skill opens the editor on a blank template with the
name,descriptionandtagsheader lines ready to fill in, exactly the skill file format used for project skills. Below it, Example prompts (one per line) are optional — they're shown to anyone browsing the skill, and saved into the skill's body for you. - Edit — opens the same editor on the stored skill, so a skill written elsewhere can be pasted in as-is. Invalid front matter is rejected with the parser's error so you can fix it in place.
- Delete — removes the skill from your account.
- Share / unshare — the globe button shares the skill with the community (or takes it back). Shared skills show a Public badge, their tags, and how many times they've been downloaded.
The name line in the front matter is the skill's identity. Renaming it creates a
new skill under the new name — the old one stays until you delete it.
User vs. project — which to use
Use a user skill
For personal conventions you want in every drawing, on any project.
Use a project skill
For standards that belong to one drawing and should be shared with anyone who opens it.
Because user skills override project ones, they're a handy way to try a personal tweak to a shared standard without touching the project's own skill file.
