Skills

Get a platform/system skill by slug, including full instructions.

Returns:

  • slug, name, description — identity fields
  • version — active revision number
  • tool_slugs — MCP tool names the skill uses
  • instructions — the full step-by-step procedure to follow
  • reference_material — optional supplementary reference text

Reading instructions tells you exactly how to carry out the skill. All tools listed in tool_slugs are already exposed by the agents, building_blocks, and chats MCP modules — call them as directed by the instructions.

Raises a ToolError if the slug does not match any active system skill. Use list_system_skills to see available slugs.

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
slugstringyes

List all active platform/system skills available on this deployment.

System skills are global — they are not scoped to any org and are the same for every authenticated user. Each entry contains:

  • slug — stable identifier, use with get_system_skill
  • description — one-line summary
  • version — current active revision number
  • tool_slugs — MCP tool names the skill relies on

Call get_system_skill(slug) to retrieve the full instructions for a specific skill before executing it.

No parameters.
