Create Skills from Chat

How the AI suggests turning procedures established in conversation into Skills — attaching existing ones, importing SKILL.md files, and keeping them up to date

In Jinba App Neo, Skills can grow directly out of your chat conversations. You don’t have to write a playbook from scratch — the back-and-forth of real work becomes a Skill.

Skill suggestions

When a reusable procedure takes shape during a chat, the AI shows a “Skill suggestion” card.

1. Review the content

   Check what will be saved in the card’s “Body preview.” Click “View full text” to expand it. The tools the Skill uses are also shown.

2. Choose a scope

   • This agent only — usable only by the current agent. You can promote it to shared later from the Skills list
   • Workspace shared — usable from every agent
3. Save, request changes, or dismiss

   Click “Save” to register the Skill, or “Not now” to pass on it. If the draft is close but not quite right, choose “Request changes” and describe what you’d like changed — the AI revises the draft and presents a new proposal card. Once saved, you can edit the skill anytime from the Skills list.

A skill saved mid-conversation can also be refined in the same conversation — just keep going (“actually, add X too”) and the AI proposes an update with a diff. Note that the saved skill itself takes effect in new chats.

Skill update suggestions

While working with an existing Skill, if the AI detects a gap between what the Skill says and what you actually did, it shows a “Skill update suggestion” card.

• Review the changes in the “Body diff”
• Click “Apply update” to update the existing Skill
• If the target is a shared Skill, note that the change also propagates to every other agent it is attached to

Attaching existing skills from chat

Skills your workspace already has can be attached to an agent from the conversation, too. In a chat with the agent, ask something like “let this agent use the report-formatting skill” — a “Skill attach proposed” card appears with the closest-matching workspace-shared skill preselected.

• If the preselected skill isn’t the one you meant, choose another from the card’s “Pick the skill to attach” list
• “Attach” saves it right away; it takes effect in new chats with that agent. “Dismiss” passes on it
• Only workspace-shared skills can be attached this way (agent-specific skills belong to a single agent)

Importing a SKILL.md from chat

An existing SKILL.md file can be registered without opening the Skills screen: attach the file to the conversation and ask the AI to register it as a skill. The AI reads the file and presents the usual suggestion card with the name, description, and body filled in from the file — review and save it like any other suggestion.

When you’ve hit the limit

If you’ve reached the Skill limit, new Skills can’t be saved. The card says so and names the limit (“You’ve reached the skill limit (20).”) — consider updating an existing Skill or deleting ones you no longer need.

You can also ask explicitly in chat: “Turn this procedure into a Skill — I’ll want it again next time.” The AI will draft the body from the conversation.
