Skills

Skills let you cluster related tasks, projects, and workflows around shared expertise. A skill can be anything: a domain, a technology, or a role. You can assign skills to people, filter any task list by skill, or use skills as metadata in saved views.

Tip

Use skills to surface specialized work: “React”, “Schema Design”, “Customer Research”, or “Onboarding”. Assign a skill to a person, and watch it surface in searches, assignments, and saved views.

Create & assign skills

Skills are scoped to: personal (for you), project (for a board), or team (for all members of that team). When you assign a skill to a person, the assignment is also scoped to the skill’s scope, so a team-level skill appears in each project’s skill list.

1. Open Skill management

   • Use the Ctrl+K command palette and search for “Skills”, or go to the Settings > Skills page.

2. Create a skill

   • Click New Skill.
   • Give it a name (e.g., “Python” or “Design System”).
   • Optionally add a description.
   • Choose the scope:
     • Personal — skill available only to you.
     • Project — skill available on a specific board/project.
     • Team — skill available to all members of your team, regardless of project.

3. Assign a person

   • On the skill card, click Assign People.
   • Search for a team member and add them.
   • Assignments are scoped: a personal skill assignment is only visible to you; a project assignment is only visible on that project’s board.

4. Backlog/assign tasks by skill

   • Filter a task list by skill using the skill picker.
   • Or assign a skill to a task to tag it for later filtering or reporting.
   • Saved views can also explicitly filter by skill.

/prototype skill

You can now create a /prototype skill to define a shared prototype format across agents and collaboration tools. When someone inserts a prototype with this skill:

• The prototype becomes clickable in comments and AI chat.
• The default action is to open and display the prototype in the same context.
• The prototype’s slug is inserted into comments and prompts, making it easy to reference and reuse.
• If the prototype has its own action URL, the UI presents standard context‑appropriate actions:
  • Comment composer: click the prototype card to insert its slug; opening the prototype works the same way as other skills.
  • AI chat: pick /prototype from the command menu, then engage with the prototype in the same way you would any other skill.

Tip

Use the /prototype skill to streamline reference workflows: embed consistent embed URLs and referenceable slugs for MP4s, PNGs, and hosted prototypes. Agents and collaborators can open, inspect, and reference them without leaving their current flow.

Example agent use case

An agent that manages design reviews might:

• Use the /prototype skill to indicate designs under review.
• In a comment, insert the prototype slug to surface the linked prototype card.
• Ready the prototype for quick, context‑appropriate opening by teammates.

Keyboard workflow

Quickly assign or filter by skill using your keyboard:

• Ctrl+K — Command palette; start typing “Skill” to find:

  • Skills — Open Skill management.
  • Filter tasks by skill — Pop up the skill selector.

• Use the skill picker in a board or task detail to click or navigate with arrow keys to select skills.

Data model (for integrators)

• Scope — personal | project | team.
• A skill on a board applies only when that board is opened.
• A project skill applies across all boards in that project.
• A team skill applies automatically to all boards that your team owns.
