Manage Skills

The Skills page in the Brain

Open the Brain dashboard and select Skills in the sidebar. You’ll see two sections:

• My Skills — skills you’ve created yourself (shown first)
• Curated Skills — skills shipped with Chalie, maintained by the Chalie team

Each skill card shows its title, a short description of what it’s used for, its version number, its tags, and whether it’s currently enabled or disabled. A New Skill button at the top lets you create your own.

Enabling and disabling skills

Toggle any skill on or off. Disabled skills are excluded from search results — Chalie won’t suggest or follow them until you re-enable them.

This is useful when you want to narrow Chalie’s focus. For example, if you never do financial analysis, you can disable the Financial Analysis and SaaS Metrics Coach skills to keep results relevant.

Curated vs. user-created

Curated skills can be enabled or disabled but not edited or deleted directly. They’re updated automatically when Chalie is updated. If you want to tweak one, use its Copy & Customise button — this makes an editable copy in your My Skills section that you fully control, while leaving the original curated skill untouched.

User-created skills can be edited, deleted, enabled, or disabled. You have full control over their content and behaviour.

Viewing skill details

Click any skill card to see its full content — the step-by-step procedure, the tools it references, its tags, and its version history. For your own skills, you can edit the procedure directly from this view; for curated skills, use Copy & Customise to fork an editable version first.

Keeping things tidy

If your skill library grows large, use the search bar on the Skills page to filter by title or tag. Your own skills are listed first under My Skills, with Curated Skills below.

Disabling skills you don’t use keeps Chalie’s search results focused and reduces the chance of a wrong playbook being matched to your request.
