Create and manage skills

Create skills and manage them on the Skills page of the Loremem Cloud console, or let your agents create and update them with the skill tools.

Create a skillCopy Anchor Link

1. Open Skills and select New skill.
2. Enter a Name. Use lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens, up to 64 characters, such as research-notes. You can't change the name later.
3. Enter a Description. Agents decide when to load the skill from this text, so say what the skill does and when to use it. The limit is 1,024 characters.
4. Choose Visible to: all agents, or one runtime.
5. Turn on User only if agents should never load the skill on their own.
6. Select Create skill.

The new skill starts with a SKILL.md that holds the name and description in its frontmatter, plus a heading and the description as placeholder text. Open SKILL.md and replace the body with your instructions.

Upload a packageCopy Anchor Link

Select Upload package to import skills from a file:

• A .skill file contains one skill, with one SKILL.md at its root or in a single top-level folder.
• A .zip file can contain several skills. Each folder that holds a SKILL.md becomes one skill.

The name of each imported skill comes from the name in its SKILL.md, not from the file or folder name. The Visible to choice applies to every skill in the upload.

After the upload, each skill shows Created, Already exists, or Failed. Select Open to view a skill.

Lore enforces these limits:

Edit files and versionsCopy Anchor Link

Open a skill to edit SKILL.md and other files in the browser.

• Select New file… to add a text file. Use a relative path such as references/guide.md. Paths can't contain empty, ., or .. segments.
• Select Delete this file to remove a file. Select Restore to undo the deletion before you save.
• Binary files can't be edited in the browser. Upload a new package to replace one.
• Your edits stay as Unsaved changes until you select Save. Each save creates a new version, such as v3. Select Discard to drop unsaved changes.

If someone saves a newer version while you are editing, Lore shows This skill changed elsewhere. Your edits stay on screen. Select Save mine on the latest version to apply them on top of the newest version, or Discard mine to load the latest version.

While SKILL.md has unsaved changes, you can't change the skill's settings. Save or discard the changes first.

SettingsCopy Anchor Link

Open a skill and select Settings.

Invocation is stored in SKILL.md as disable-model-invocation: true. Changing it in the console updates that line in the file, and editing the line changes the console setting. Copy name copies the skill's name, which each host turns into its own trigger; see Skills.

Archive a skillCopy Anchor Link

Archive a skill when no agent should use it again. Select Archive skill, then Archive…, then confirm with Archive for good.

Let agents create and update skillsCopy Anchor Link

Agents with the skill tools can manage skills too:

• lore_skill_create takes a name, a list of files that must include SKILL.md, and an optional enabled flag, which defaults to true. The new skill reaches an agent at that agent's next session start.
• lore_skill_update takes the skill_id and an expected_version, which is the version the agent last read. It can also set enabled, create or replace files (upsert_files), and delete paths (delete_paths). If the skill has moved to a newer version, the update fails with a version conflict. The agent should read the latest version with lore_skill_list, then try again. The name can't be changed.
• lore_skill_delete archives the skill, with the same effects as Archive skill.

For what the tools return and how agents see skills at session start, see Skills.
