Skills
Packaged expertise — technique packs the Build AI must follow.
#What Skills does
A skill is packaged expertise: written instructions, plus optional template files, that get injected into the Build AI’s system prompt. Attach a skill to a project and the AI doesn’t just know your brand — it follows proven technique.
Skills are organised by category: SEO, AEO (answer-engine optimisation), Performance, Accessibility, Content and Other. The curated library covers techniques like llms.txt and robots.txt starters, technical SEO, XML sitemaps and Core Web Vitals.
#Two libraries, like Components
- sSystm Library — curated technique packs maintained by the platform, read-only and available to every workspace.
- My Library — your organisation’s own skills: your agency’s playbook, written once, applied to every build.
Skills can carry template files (path + content pairs) — starters the AI works from rather than inventing structure.
#Attach a skill to a build
- Open Skills and browse the library, or create your own skill with instructions and optional template files.
- In Build, open the project’s context panel and tick the skills the project must follow.
- From then on, every generation includes the attached skills’ instructions and files — always, not just when the AI remembers to look.
#On the MCP surface
Your own AI can build and apply skills too — a review finding on Claude’s side can become a reusable skill in your library:
