Skills

Skills are reusable resources that help agents perform specific tasks more effectively. They live in a dedicated skills section at the workspace level, where you can organize them into folders, edit their contents, and connect them to contexts.

 

Upload a skill

Add a new skill from a Markdown file.

1. In your Supernova workspace, open Skills.
2. Click Upload skill.
3. Select a Markdown file to upload.
4. Choose an existing folder, or type a new folder path to create one during upload.
5. Confirm the upload.

Each skill is stored as a Markdown file and must contain frontmatter for title and description to help agents know when and how to use the skill.

If the Markdown file does not already include frontmatter, Supernova creates a blank frontmatter block automatically that you need to fill out in order to save the skill.

Alternatively, use the Add skill option to write the skill from scratch directly in the Supernova Markdown editor.

 

Organize skills in folders

1. In your Supernova workspace, open Skills.
2. Browse the folder tree to find the folder you want.
3. To move a skill into another folder you can
1. drag a skill into the folder to move it,
2. or use the “Move to” folder dropdown available in the skill detail.

To create a new folder write a new folder path in the file’s path input.

 

Edit a skill

Skills can be edited directly in Supernova.

1. In your Supernova workspace, open Skills.
2. Select a skill to open its detail view.
3. Edit the skill content in the code editor.
4. Update its metadata in frontmatter as needed.
5. Save your changes.

To rename a skill, update the name property in frontmatter. The underlying file name remains skill.md.

 

Replace skill content

To replace the content of a skill, upload a new version.

1. Open the skill detail view.
2. Click Replace content.
3. Select the updated Markdown file.
4. Confirm the replacement.

Replacing the content keeps the skill connected to the same contexts it was already linked to.

 

Delete a skill

1. Open the skill detail view.
2. Click Delete.
3. Confirm the action.

 

Connect skills to contexts

Skills can be connected to contexts so agents can access them through MCP. Connected skills are then distributed through that context using the MCP connection.

1. From the main navigation, open Contexts.
2. Open the context you want to configure.
3. In Workspace knowledge / Skills, select the skills you want to include.
4. Save your changes.

Note: Skills are connected individually. Folder-level connection is not yet supported.
