Skills are pre-built instruction sets that give the agent specialized knowledge for specific tasks. When you ask the agent to build something, it automatically loads the right skill for the job. Ask for a pitch deck and it loads the presentation skill. Ask for a landing page with Stripe and it layers the website and payments skills together. Runable comes with 12 built-in skills covering websites, video, audio, slide decks, reports, spreadsheets, carousels, SEO, Stripe, analytics, and authentication.

How skills work

1

You send a message

Describe what you want to build in the chat.
2

The agent picks the right skill

The agent reads your request and loads the relevant skill automatically. You can also attach a skill manually from the input bar.
3

The skill guides the agent

The skill provides instructions, preflight questions, templates, and design guidelines. The agent follows these to produce higher-quality results.
4

The agent asks preflight questions

Skills include preflight blocks with questions the agent must ask before starting. This ensures it gathers the information it needs.

Create your own skills

You can build custom skills by asking the agent. Describe the workflow you want to automate and the agent creates a skill folder with a SKILL.md file. The skill is saved to your sandbox and available for future conversations.
