What it is
A Skill teaches the Mavvrik Agent how your team works. Upload a short document describing your own conventions — a chargeback formula, a reporting format, a tagging policy, a recurring analysis method — and the Agent follows it every time that topic comes up in Chat. No need to repeat the same instructions in every conversation.
Why this matters: a Skill is like handing a new teammate your team's own runbook instead of re-explaining it from scratch every time — write it once, and every future conversation follows it automatically.
This shows up differently depending on your role:
-
FinOps or platform leads author Skills to encode their team's own conventions once.
-
Everyone else on the team benefits automatically in Chat, without needing to know the Skill exists or reference it by name.
What you can do with it
-
Standardize recurring output. Upload your team's defect/incident report template, and every future write-up in Chat follows that exact format.
-
Encode your own rules. Describe your chargeback formula, fiscal-year boundaries, or naming/tagging standards, and the Agent applies them instead of a generic default.
-
Package expert workflows. If your FinOps or platform team has a documented methodology for a recurring analysis, a Skill lets the Agent carry it out consistently, every time, for anyone on your team who asks.
How to add a Skill
-
Go to Skill in the Agent's admin area.
-
Click the Skill button to open the upload dialog.
-
Upload a
.zipfile containing:-
A
SKILL.mdfile at the root of the zip, with a name and description in its frontmatter. -
(Optional) Any supporting reference material, placed in a folder named
references/— files in this folder must be Markdown (.md) only.
-
-
Click Create.
Once uploaded, the Skill appears in your Skills list with its name and description, and is available to Chat immediately.
Ownership note: a Skill is tied to whoever uploaded it, not to a shared team account. If that person leaves, make sure someone else on the team knows where the source .zip lives, so the Skill can still be updated or reissued later.
How it works day-to-day
-
You don't need to mention a Skill by name — the Agent automatically checks whether an uploaded Skill matches the question being asked, and follows it if so.
-
If more than one Skill could apply, the Agent picks the one that best matches the specific question, rather than blending them.
Good to know
-
A Skill changes how the Agent reasons and formats its answer — it does not give the Agent access to new data or new systems. For that, see Connector.
-
Supporting files must live under a
references/folder and be.mdfiles — other formats (HTML, CSV, images, etc.) aren't currently supported as Skill reference material.
FAQs
Does uploading a Skill give the Agent access to new data?
No — a Skill only changes how the Agent reasons and formats its answer. For access to new data or systems, see Connector.
What file formats can I include as supporting reference material?
Only Markdown (.md) files, placed in a references/ folder — other formats like HTML, CSV, or images aren't currently supported.
