The Skills feature lets you create and use reusable instruction sets that guide how Storytell approaches specific tasks. Apply Skills in chat to get consistent summaries, fact-checking, research, and writing your way.

What’s new

• @mention a Skill in chat: Type @ in the prompt bar, select a Skill from the list, and Storytell applies it to that message.

• Automatic activation: Storytell can automatically activate a Skill when your prompt matches its purpose (e.g., “summarize this”).

• Create custom Skills: Use the Skill Creator in chat or the Skills page to define new Skills, save to your account (User) or project (Project), and refine as needed.

• Built-in Skills: System Skills like Summarizer, Fact Checker, Editor, and Deep Researcher are ready to use; enable or disable them for your workflows.

Why this matters

• Consistency: One Skill ensures the same style and process every time.

• Control: Choose which Skills are active for a message or let Storytell decide automatically.

• Customization: Build Skills for your personal workflow or your project team.

• Clarity: See which Skill was applied in the response with a Skills block.

What to know

• Skills have Name, Display Name, Description, Content, Scope, and Category.

• Scope options: System (everyone), Project (team), User (only you).

• Skills work alongside your Prompt Library, files, Collections, Labels, and tools.

• Automatic activation depends on your enabled Skills and your prompt. To guarantee a Skill is used, @mention it.

Who benefits

• Users who want consistent, repeatable outputs for summarization, fact-checking, research, or writing.

• Teams who want shared workflows and aligned results across projects.

• Anyone looking to customize Storytell’s behavior without rewriting instructions each time.
