FAQPage Schema

How do I add and invoke skills within a Seren Desktop thread?▼

To use skills in Seren Desktop, discover available options, activate them for your specific thread context, and trigger their functions during your workflow to execute targeted tasks.

What is the process to create custom skills using Skill Creator?▼

Creating custom skills with Skill Creator involves opening the tool, following the interactive prompts to define your skill's logic, and generating a structured Markdown body with YAML frontmatter to load operational instructions into context.

How do I reuse existing marketplace skills in my own threads?▼

Reusing existing marketplace skills involves browsing the marketplace, selecting a skill that fits your needs, adding it directly to your active thread, and invoking it to perform its designated task without needing manual recreation.

Do I need YAML frontmatter to build a functional skill?▼

Yes, you need YAML frontmatter to build a functional skill because it satisfies frontmatter-driven documentation requirements by providing essential metadata like the name and description for the structured Markdown body.

What are the limitations when managing skills in per-thread contexts?▼

Managing skills in per-thread contexts limits skill activation and invocation to the specific thread where they were added, meaning they do not automatically apply globally across all concurrent threads without separate configuration.
