What Are Skills?

Skills are reusable packages of expertise that standardize how your team works with PlayerZero. A Skill is more than a single prompt: it can be a folder of files, with a main set of instructions alongside any supporting material such as references, templates, and scripts. Skills were previously called Playbooks. Everything you built as a Playbook carries over, and the library, categories, and version history work the same way.
A Skill can be applied three ways: referenced from a workflow stage, invoked directly with a slash command, or selected by PlayerZero when it judges the Skill relevant to the task at hand.

​
Creating a Skill

Navigate to Organization Settings → Playbooks & Skills to manage your library, then choose how to start:
Create a new Skill with a blank editor and write the instructions yourself.
Import a Skill from a .zip archive. This is how you bring in agent skills authored in other tools, or move a Skill between organizations. Skills you export are packaged the same way, so an exported archive can be re-imported anywhere.
If you like how PlayerZero handled something, turn that work into a Skill directly:
  1. Hover over an assistant response to reveal the Create skill action
  2. PlayerZero drafts a Skill definition from the response and shows it as a card in the chat
  3. Review the generated title, description, instructions, and category
  4. Save to open the creation form pre-filled with the generated content

​
Skill Fields

​
Categories

Categories come from a fixed set shared across job roles, workflows, knowledge groups, and Skills: Documentation, Engineering, Product, Design, SRE, Quality Assurance (QA/QE), Data Science, Go To Market/Sales, Marketing, Support, and Other.

​
Using a Skill

  • Type / in the chat input to open the Skills overlay
  • Browse or search for the Skill you want
  • Use ↑↓ to navigate and Enter to select
  • The Skill is applied to your message — add your own context on top
  • Click the library icon next to the chat input
  • Browse by category or search by title, description, or tag
  • Select a Skill to attach it to your message
  • The selected Skill appears as a tile below the input
  • Type / in the stage Instructions field when creating or editing a workflow stage
  • Browse or search for the Skill you want
  • Select it to insert its instructions into the stage
  • This standardizes agent behavior across stages — see Configuring Workflows
PlayerZero can reach for a Skill on its own when it judges one relevant to the task, so shared expertise gets applied even when nobody remembers to invoke it.
When you submit a message with a Skill attached, the Skill is combined with your message and sent together. The chat shows a label naming the Skill that was applied, and you can preview it inline or open it in a full dialog.

​
Managing Skills

From Organization Settings → Playbooks & Skills, you can:
  • Create new Skills
  • Edit existing Skills — update the title, description, instructions, category, or tags
  • Fork a Skill to create a variant without modifying the original
  • Delete Skills you created (or any Skill if you have owner permissions)
  • Search across titles, descriptions, and tags
Because the library is shared at the organization level, a Skill one person writes becomes something the whole team can discover and apply to shared work.

​
Sorting

Use the sort dropdown to change the order of your list:
  • Recently updated (default) — Skills with the most recent edits appear first
  • Alphabetical — Skills are sorted from A to Z

​
Version History

Every edit creates an immutable version snapshot. To view a Skill’s history, open its detail panel and click the Version badge to expand the version history. Each version shows:
  • The user who made the change
  • When the change was made
  • The version number
To restore a previous version, select it and confirm the restore. Restoring creates a new version with the restored content — it does not roll back or delete any history. Viewing version history requires the viewer role. Restoring a version requires the editor role.
