User-Created Skills

The problem: Currently, system prompts are toggled in submenus and apply permanently to conversations. This makes it impractical to switch behaviors mid-chat or reuse specific instruction sets across different conversations.

Proposed solution: A Skills feature where users can save modular instruction sets and call them up on demand.

How it could work:

• In Settings (similar to where Memories are configured), users could add Skills either by uploading a .md file or by pasting text directly

• Each Skill would have a name that can be invoked via slash command like /summarize or simply by asking "summarize this conversation"

• When called, the skill's instructions would temporarily guide the agent's response without replacing the base system prompt

• This would work nicely in both Agentic and Legacy chat modes

Some example skills users might create: grill-me, caveman, spec-planner, research-mode, code-reviewer

A thought on defaults: If this gets built, having a few commonly useful skills available by default like planning, research, or compact could help users discover the feature. Just an idea.

Why this would be helpful: It keeps the main conversation clean while letting users pull in specialized behaviors exactly when needed, without navigating submenus.

Thanks!
