Reusable instructions

Skills

Some workflows you end up explaining the same way every time. Write it down once as a skill, switch it on, and it is part of the chat from then on.

How a skill reaches the modelYou switch a skill on in Settings or add your own. New chats are created with those skills attached. On each turn a short skill is placed in the instructions in full; a long skill is only listed by name and description, and the model reads its full text when your task needs it.Settings, Skills:switch a skill onor add your ownNew chat is createdwith these skills attachedEach turnShort skill:full text goes intothe instructionsLong skill: only name anddescription are listedModel reads the full textwhen your task needs it

  1. In Settings, Skills you switch a skill on as a default, or add a skill of your own.
  2. A new chat is created with those skills attached. Existing chats keep what they had.
  3. On each turn the attached skills are added to the model's instructions.
  4. A short skill goes in with its full text.
  5. A long skill is listed by name and description only.
  6. The model reads the full text of a long skill when your task touches it.

The skill

A skill is a named set of instructions. ZeroLog ships a set of built-in skills, and you can add your own under Settings, Skills with a name, a description and the instructions. Your skills are visible to you only; built-in ones are read-only. To change one of yours, add it again under the same name.

How it reaches the model

A short skill is placed in the instructions of every turn. A long skill is listed by name and description only, and the model reads the full text when your task touches it. Anonymous chats do not use skills.

Where it applies

In the app you switch a skill on as a default under Settings, Skills.

New chats

The skills you switched on are attached to every chat you create afterwards.

Existing chats

They keep the skills they had when you created them.
