# Skills


## What's a skill

A skill is a packaged sequence of tool calls that Niyra has learned to execute together. When you ask her to do the same multi-step workflow a few times, she writes a skill for it and offers to use it next time.

## How they get created

1. You ask her to do a multi-step thing ("triage, summarize, file in Linear").
2. She does it.
3. After ~3 similar requests, she proposes: "Want me to save this as a skill called 'triage-to-linear'?"
4. You approve. Next time, the same prompt triggers the skill — faster, fewer credits.

## Managing skills

Settings → Skills:

- List all created skills.
- Edit the prompt that triggers each.
- Disable any she shouldn't use.
- Delete forever.

## What gets stored

The skill is a structured plan, not your raw conversations. It references tools and parameters; private data stays where it was.

## JIT loading

Skills don't bloat Niyra's system prompt. She loads them just-in-time when a matching trigger fires. Hundreds of skills don't slow her down.
