Skills & prompts

SupaNet lets your team package up good prompts so nobody has to reinvent them. There are two kinds, and the difference is just when they apply.

Skills - on-demand shortcuts

A skill is a saved prompt you call up when you want it. In the chat, type / (or press the ⚡ button) and you will see the skills available to you. Pick one and it arms the skill — the composer prefills with use the skill "...", and you can add context before sending. When you're ready, hit send to run it.

Think of skills as buttons for the things you do often:

• "Draft a standup from these tickets"
• "Turn this transcript into a posting package"
• "Write this in our house style"

Instead of explaining the whole task every time, you pick the skill, add any context you want (or just send right away), and let it work. A cancelable chip above the composer reminds you which skill is armed. Skills are personal - they are there when you reach for them and out of the way when you do not.

Creating and editing skills

On the Skills page you can create new skills in several ways:

Create a new skill manually: Click the New skill button to create one from scratch in the editor.

Import from a GitHub URL: Click the Import URL button to load a skill directly from GitHub. You can paste:

• A GitHub file URL: https://github.com/user/repo/blob/main/skill.md
• A repository URL: https://github.com/user/repo (imports the README.md)
• A gist URL: https://gist.github.com/user/gist-id

The file must be in Markdown format and contain either a name in the frontmatter (YAML between --- markers) or skill instructions. This is perfect for sharing skills as gists, collaborating on them in a repo, or importing community-built skills.

Upload a Markdown file: Click the Upload .md button to import a skill from a .md file on your computer. The file must include:

• A name field in the frontmatter (YAML between --- markers)
• An instructions section with the skill's prompt text

This is great for sharing skills with teammates, editing them in your text editor, or importing skills that were exported from another workspace.

Edit and refine existing skills: When editing a skill, you have two useful tools:

• Polish with AI — asks the assistant to clean up and flesh out your skill draft. This is great for turning rough notes into a polished, clear prompt.
• Download as SKILL.md — exports your skill as a portable Markdown file. You can share it with teammates, edit it outside SupaNet, or re-import it later.

Ask the assistant to create one: In chat, ask the assistant to create a skill directly. For example: "Create a skill that helps me draft standup notes from a list of tickets." The assistant will use the create_skill tool to create the skill and return a link to it in the dashboard.

Finding skills

If you have many skills in your workspace, use the search box on the Skills page to find the one you want. The search looks through skill names, descriptions, and instructions, so you can find what you need quickly even if you don't remember the exact name.

Skill usage tracking

The Skills page shows you how often your on-demand skills are being used. Each skill card displays:

• Usage count — how many times the skill has been run (e.g., "Used 12×")
• Last used — how long ago the skill was run (e.g., "2 days ago")
• Unused badge — skills that have never been used, or haven't been used in 30+ days are marked as "Unused" in amber

This helps you identify which skills are valuable to your workflow and which ones have fallen out of use. A future cleanup tool will use this signal to help prune stale skills from your library. Skills are synced live across devices, so the usage counts are always current.

Always-on prompts - the house rules

Some prompts are not optional shortcuts; they are always on. These are managed by admins and apply to the whole workspace on every message. They teach the assistant how your workspace works and how it should behave.

For example, there is a built-in always-on prompt that explains the workspace to the assistant and tells it how to create artifacts correctly. You will never see it as a button - it is just part of how the assistant shows up for everyone.

Who manages what

• Personal skills - you and your teammates can create and use these.
• Always-on prompts - admins manage these, because they affect everyone.

Archiving and deleting skills

When you delete a skill or always-on prompt, it moves to Trash rather than being permanently removed. This is a soft delete — the skill is hidden from the skills list and shortcuts, but you can still recover it later.

To archive a skill:

• Click the trash icon in the skill editor. You'll see a confirmation that the skill is moving to Trash.
• Built-in prompts cannot be deleted (they're maintained by the system), so the delete button is not available for those.

To recover or permanently delete:

Click the Trash button on the Skills page (visible only when you have archived skills) to open your recovery area. There you can:

• Restore - move the skill back so it's usable again.
• Delete forever - permanently remove the skill. This cannot be undone.

This safety net means you can clean up your skills list without fear of losing something you might want back later.

Why this matters

The combination means SupaNet can be tuned to your team without anyone touching code. The house rules keep the assistant consistent and on-brand, while skills let individuals move fast on the tasks they repeat. Over time a good library of skills becomes one of the most valuable things in the workspace.
