Skills

A skill is a set of instructions, and optionally files such as templates or scripts, that teaches Marky how to do a specific job your way: “write our weekly newsletter”, “review a contract against our checklist”, “turn sales notes into a CRM update”. Marky sees the name and description of each active skill. When a request matches one, Marky reads the skill first and follows it. You can also ask for a skill by name.

​

Manage skills

Click Skills in the Marky sidebar.

• The switch on each card turns a skill on or off. Marky only uses skills that are on.
• Official skills come from us. Custom skills are yours.
• The ⋯ menu has Try it, Preview, Download, and Delete.

Two official skills are included: skill-creator, which helps Marky write new skills with you, and automation-and-scheduling, which helps it set up scheduled tasks and automations.

​

Add a skill

Click Add and choose how: Skills use the same format as Claude’s Agent Skills, so skills you’ve written for Claude work in Marky too.

​

Use a skill

• Let Marky decide: ask as usual. If your request matches an active skill’s description, Marky uses it.
• Pick it yourself: click + > Skills and choose one, or type / followed by the skill’s name in your message, such as /weekly-newsletter.

​

Write a good skill

• Description: say exactly when the skill applies: “Use when the user asks for the weekly customer newsletter.” Marky decides from this line alone.
• Instructions: write the steps the way you’d brief a new colleague: the sources to use, the structure of the result, the tone, what to avoid, and how to check the work.
• Files: add templates, examples of good results, or reference documents to the skill’s folder, and mention them in the instructions.
