Skills

Skills are playbooks that daoco loads when a task matches them. They can define a writing method, a design process, a research checklist, or rules for working with a specific tool. Skills guide the work; they do not start runs on their own. Open the brand switcher and choose Skills. The page has daoco’s built-in Library and Your skills for workspace-owned playbooks. The first time you open Skills, a five-step walkthrough explains the library, workspace skills, triggers, agent access, brand scope, and publishing controls. It switches between the two tabs for you but does not change any skill.

​

Use the built-in library

Search the library by name, category, or purpose. Open a skill to read its instructions and see which agents can use it. Workspace admins can turn a built-in skill on or off. Turning it off keeps it in the library but prevents agents from loading it. Choose Edit to create a workspace copy when the shipped instructions are close but not quite right. Once that copy is on, agents use it instead of daoco’s version.

​

Create a skill

Published skills can only be changed by workspace admins. Other members can draft skills for an admin to review.

​

Import and export

Use Import to add a compatible skill package. Export a workspace skill when you want a backup or need to move it to another workspace. Imported skills still start off, so nothing changes agent behavior until someone enables them.

​

Write a useful trigger

The When to use field decides whether daoco considers the skill for a task. Name the situation and the expected work. Avoid broad triggers such as “use for marketing” because they make unrelated requests compete for the same playbook. Good trigger:

Use when writing a customer case study from an interview transcript. Pull only claims supported by the transcript and keep direct quotes attached to the named speaker.

Keep the playbook concrete. Tell the agent what inputs to check, what decisions to make, what output to return, and what it must not invent.

​

Skills and your assistant

Your assistant can use the same skills. Ask it “what skills do we have?” and it lists your workspace skills and the library skills you have not turned off. When it hands work to a brand thread and a skill covers that work, the thread and every specialist it delegates to are told to load that skill. You can also teach it a way of working. Describe a procedure in the channel, for example “remember how we write launch threads: open with the outcome, one post per feature, end with the link”, and the assistant saves it as a draft skill under Your skills. It replies with a link to the draft. A fact or preference, such as “our launch day is Tuesday”, goes to the assistant’s memory instead. Drafts from the assistant stay off, like any new skill. A workspace admin reviews the draft, edits it if needed, and turns it on, or archives it if nobody needs it. Only members who have linked their chat account can ask the assistant to save a skill.

​

Manage a skill

• Turn a custom skill off to stop agents loading it without deleting the draft.
• Archive a custom skill when the workspace no longer needs it. If it replaced a built-in skill, archiving restores daoco’s version.
• Edit the workspace copy rather than the built-in original. Library updates remain separate from your copy.
• Limit a specialist playbook to the agents that can act on it. A video editing checklist does not need to load during billing questions.

Skills load only when they match the current task. They do not appear as transcript steps. The work they guide remains visible in the normal chat execution view.
