Skills
Using skills
How enabled skills apply in Discord chat, tasks, and the skill detail page.
What is it?
When a skill is installed and enabled, Clankee follows its instructions during Discord chat and task runs. Skills do not replace integrations: they tell the agent how to use tools and knowledge you already connected.
Where skills apply
| Surface | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Discord chat | Enabled skills shape replies when you mention Clankee |
| Tasks | Enabled skills guide agent behavior during task runs |
| Tool calls | Skills may reference integration tools listed on the skill |
Before you rely on a skill
- Install the skill on the project.
- Connect any required integrations under Integrations.
- Enable the skill on the Installed tab.
Example: install Linear triage, connect Linear under Integrations, then enable the skill. Clankee can triage issues using your Linear account.
Inspect a skill
Open a skill from Available or Installed to see:
- Description, author, and version
- Required integrations and missing-integration warnings
- Child skills (for example Linear triage under Linear)
- File tree (
SKILL.md,references/, and other files) - Activity log (installs, updates, file changes)
Read supporting files before expecting the agent to follow conventions you documented there.
Official vs custom
- Official platform skills come from the Clankee catalog.
- Project skills are custom to your project. Edit them from the skill page or Create Skill.
Permissions
Any project member can view skill details. Install, enable, and edit require project Owner/Admin.
