​
Overview

A Skill is a reusable set of instructions that tells a Friday how to perform a specific type of task. Skills define the approach, tools, and behavior an agent should use — so you can standardize how automations work across your Spaces. You can browse and manage Skills by clicking Skills in the left sidebar.

​
Browsing Skills

The Skills page displays all available skills. Each skill shows:
  • The skill name and description
  • Which tools and integrations it uses
  • When it was last updated

​
Using Skills in Spaces

When creating or editing a Space, you can assign a skill to guide the agent’s behavior. This ensures consistent execution across automations that share the same approach. To use a skill in a Space:
1

Open the Space

Open the Space you want to configure.
2

Select a skill

Select the skill from the available options.
3

Run the Space

The agent will follow the skill’s instructions when the Space runs.

​
Creating a Skill

To create a new Skill, describe the behavior you want in chat: 
Create a skill called "Research Assistant" that searches the web for a topic, cross-references three sources, and produces a summary with citations.
Friday will generate the Skill with the appropriate instructions and tool configuration. You can then assign it to any Space.
