Skills

Creating reusable prompt templates for AI assistants

What are Skills?

Skills are markdown documents with YAML frontmatter that get exposed as MCP resources. They let you define custom behaviors, prompts, or templates that AI assistants can use when working with your data.

Skill Format

markdown

---
title: Explain Sales Data
argument-hint: The product or category to explain
---

# Sales Explanation

You are analyzing sales data for: **$ARGUMENTS**

## Instructions

1. Look at the sales trends for the specified product
2. Identify key metrics: revenue, units sold, growth rate
3. Explain any anomalies or interesting patterns
4. Provide actionable recommendations

## Context

The data comes from our ERP system and is refreshed daily.
When explaining numbers, always compare to the previous quarter.

INFOThe $ARGUMENTS placeholder is replaced with the user's input when the skill is invoked.

Frontmatter Fields

Field	Required	Description
title	Yes	Display name for the skill
argument-hint	No	Hint for the input parameter

Exposing Skills

Skills are exposed in two ways through MCP servers:

As a Tool

Skills appear as callable tools with an "arguments" parameter. When called, $ARGUMENTS is replaced and the markdown is returned.

As a Resource

Skills are available at skill://skill-name for reading directly.

AI Generation

Conexor can generate skills automatically from a description:

Go to Dashboard → Skills
Click "Generate with AI"
Describe what the skill should do
Review and edit the generated markdown
Save and assign to MCP servers

Best Practices

Keep skills focused on a single task
Use clear, specific instructions
Include context about your data schema
Test skills with Claude before deploying
Version control your skills alongside your code

TIPSkills work great for standardizing how your team interacts with data through AI.
