What Are Skills?

Skills are reusable AI workflows. Where a chat prompt is a one-off, a skill is a saved, repeatable capability: triage my inbox, turn this data into a branded PDF report, audit a website, build a weekly retrospective. You create a skill once, then anyone with access can run it from chat, on a schedule, or directly from Skills. RelayHub supports several kinds of skills, and the UI labels each one with a type badge: You do not need to know which type to pick up front. The creation wizard chooses the right shape from your description.

The Skills Page

Open Skills from the sidebar. The header reads “Reusable AI workflows your team can run from chat” and offers four actions:
  • Create Skill: the AI-driven creation wizard (start here)
  • Skill Flow: build a skill visually on a canvas, no code
  • From Template: start from a pre-built template
  • Import: upload a packaged skill ZIP

Tabs

Skill Cards

Each card shows the skill’s icon, name, description, status (active, draft, disabled, or archived), type badge, scope (Personal, Workspace, or Company), total runs, and last run time. The card menu offers Run, Schedule, View, Edit, Export ZIP, Disable, and Delete. Use the search box and the category, status, type, scope, and source filters to find skills in larger libraries.

Bundled Skills

Every RelayHub instance ships with ready-to-use skills, including:
  • email-triage: categorize and prioritize your Gmail inbox
  • meeting-prep: a briefing for your upcoming meetings
  • make-pdf: turn markdown into a branded PDF
  • weekly-retro: a retrospective of your last 7 days
  • competitor-scan: pricing and feature scan for a list of domains
  • pdf-summarizer: one-page summary of an attached PDF
Bundled skills are read-only. To customize one, use Evolve: RelayHub forks it into a personal copy you own, leaving the original untouched.

Credentials

Skills that call external services need credentials. Manage them in the Credentials tab:
  • Add a credential: name it (for example “Salesforce Production”), pick the service, and choose the auth type (API Key, Bearer Token, OAuth 2.0, or Basic Auth)
  • Test validates the credential against the service
  • Delete removes it
Credentials are encrypted at rest, scoped to your user account, and injected into skills only at run time.
Credentials are never shown to the AI model and never appear in conversation history. The model sees only the skill’s name, description, and parameters.
