Manual Create
Perfect for quickly creating simple Skills, or when you need complete control over the Skill structure.
Default Mode
The simplest creation method — directly edit SKILL.md content in the interface.
Fill in Basic Information
- Skill Name - Give your Skill a concise identifier (e.g.,
my-coding-style) - Description - One sentence describing the Skill's functionality
Write Skill Content
Write the Skill's specific instructions and knowledge in the Markdown editor.
The editor provides a basic template:
---
name:
description:
---
# Skill Title
Describe what this Skill does and when to use it...
## Usage
...Confirm Creation
Click "Confirm" to complete the creation.
Use Cases
Default mode is ideal for simple Skills that only need core instructions, like coding standards or writing style guides.
File Tree Mode
For complex Skills requiring multiple files, switch to File Tree mode.
Click the "File Tree" button to switch views, where you can:
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Create File | Add resource files like references/, scripts/, assets/ |
| Create Folder | Build a complete directory structure |
| Edit File | Click a filename to edit |
Complete Skill Structure Example:
my-skill/
├── SKILL.md # Core instruction file
├── references/ # Reference documentation
│ └── api-docs.md
├── scripts/ # Executable scripts
│ └── validate.py
└── assets/ # Asset files
└── template.htmlUpload ZIP
If you already have Skill files prepared locally, you can package and upload them directly.
Steps
Prepare the Archive
Package your Skill directory as a ZIP file. The structure should be:
my-skill.zip
└── my-skill/
├── SKILL.md
└── (other files...)Upload the File
Drag and drop the ZIP file to the upload area, or click to select.
Confirm Import
The system will automatically parse the archive contents. Confirm to complete the import.
Supported Formats
- Single Skill - Archive containing one Skill directory
- Batch Import - Archive containing multiple Skill directories, import all at once
Tip
When batch importing, each Skill directory must contain a valid SKILL.md file.
GitHub Link
Import Skills from GitHub repositories — great for using community or team-shared Skills.
Steps
Enter Repository URL
Enter the GitHub repository URL in this format:
https://github.com/username/repoThe repository should contain .md format Skill files.
