Overview

A Skill is a reusable set of instructions that tells a Friday agent 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 skills that have been added to your account. Each skill shows:
  • The skill name and namespace
  • A description (auto-generated by Friday if not manually written)
  • Version history
Any skills added to the Skills page will be intelligently picked up by Friday for any relevant jobs.

​
Creating a Skill

You can create a new Skill in several ways: 1. 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. 2. Import a Skill by sharing the URL directly in conversation. 3. Manually add it under Skills > New Skill.

​
Managing Skills

​
Editing a Skill

  1. Go to Skills in the left sidebar.
  2. Click on the skill you want to modify.
  3. Update the instructions and save your changes.
Alternatively, you can update a skill directly in conversation.

​
Deleting a Skill

  1. Go to Skills in the left sidebar.
  2. Click on the skill you want to remove.
  3. Click Delete and confirm.
Warning: Deleting a skill will not stop Spaces that were using it, but those Spaces will no longer follow the deleted skill’s instructions.
