Using skills

Install a skill from the Multilo marketplace, enable it, manage your skills, and understand when the AI reaches for a skill.

Skills you add show up to the AI automatically — you don’t wire anything together. Install one from the marketplace, or build your own, and it’s available the next time a task calls for it.

Installing a skill

  1. Find it on the marketplace

    Browse the Skills catalog and open a skill to see what it does, who published it, and its trust tier.

  2. Install into the desktop app

    Use Install to open the skill in Multilo. Installing brings the skill’s folder into your app so it’s ready to use.

  3. Enable it

    A newly installed skill is listed in the Skills Manager. Enable it there to make it available to the AI.

When the AI uses a skill

The AI reads each enabled skill’s description and decides — per task — whether it’s relevant, then loads its instructions only when it is. A skill that declares the tools it’s allowed to use is held to exactly those tools while it runs. You don’t pick a skill from a menu; you ask for the outcome and the AI brings in the right expertise.

Write good descriptions

Whether a skill triggers at the right moment comes down to its description. If you author skills, see authoring skills.

Managing your skills

The Skills Manager lists every skill you have, installed or authored, and lets you enable, disable, edit, or remove each one. Skills travel with the app, so the expertise you collect is there across your projects.

Skills in your account

A skill you wrote can follow you to every computer you sign in on. Open it in Customize → Skills and choose Save to account, or choose Add → Upload skill to your account to upload a .skill or .zip file. Nothing is saved to your account unless you do this.

Each computer signed in to your account loads the skills that are turned on, shortly after Multilo starts and then about every ten minutes. They appear under From your account as account:<name>, so they never replace a skill of the same name on that computer.

  • Turn off or Remove from account takes a skill off every computer at the next check. A turned-off skill stays listed with Turn on.

  • Skills from your account are read-only on each computer. Edit a copy makes a personal copy you can change; save it to your account again to replace the account’s version.

  • Add → Skills from your account… stops loading them on one computer. Signing out removes them from that computer; your account keeps them.

  • A skill’s name must match its folder name, and a skill can be up to 8 MB. An account holds up to 100 skills.

Skills you save to your account are stored encrypted, visible only to you, never used for training, deleted when you delete your account, and listed in your data export. See the privacy policy.
