A skill is a saved set of instructions, and optionally supporting files, that teaches Magica how to do a specific job your way. For example, a skill can describe how to write your weekly status report. Manage skills in Skills settings: open More → Settings and select Skills.

How Magica uses skills

When a skill is turned on, Magica can use it whenever your request matches what the skill’s description says it is for. Only skills that are on are used. To use a skill in a specific message, select the Skills button in the message box and pick the skill. Magica adds /skill-name to your message and uses that skill first.

Find and add skills

In Skills settings:
  • Yours shows the skills you’ve added or created.
  • Discover shows ready-made skills from Magica. Select Add to add one to your skills.
Use the switch next to a skill to turn it on or off. You can have up to 50 skills on at once.

Create your own skill

Select Add, then choose:
  • Create a skill to write one yourself. Give it a Name, a Description that says what it does and when to use it, and the Instructions.
  • Create with Magica to describe the skill in a chat and let Magica write it for you.
  • Upload skill to add a skill you already have.

Upload a skill

You can upload a skill folder, or .zip, .skill, or .md files, and pick several at once. Each skill needs a SKILL.md file with a name and description at the top. An upload can be up to 30 MB, and each file in it up to 5 MB.

Manage a skill

Open a skill to see its details, then use its menu to Edit, Duplicate, Download, or Delete it. Edit with Magica lets you change a skill by describing what you want. Try in chat opens a new chat with the skill ready to use. Skills are different from memories: memories store facts and preferences about you, and skills describe how to do a task.
