FAQPage Schema
How do I add and activate Seren Desktop skills in a conversation thread?

To activate Seren Desktop skills, browse the active list or search the installed and marketplace catalog, then enable a specific skill for your current conversation thread. Once enabled, you can invoke the skill directly from the active list to start using it.

How do I create custom skills using the Skill Creator workflow?

Creating custom skills uses the Skill Creator workflow, which provides guided steps to define your skill's purpose, write instructions, test the behavior, and publish the final skill. This onboarding process ensures your custom skill functions correctly before deployment.

Can I manage and remove active skills from a conversation thread?

Yes, you can manage active skills within your conversation thread by invoking them from the active list when needed and removing them when they are no longer required. This thread-scoped activation ensures your workspace remains uncluttered.

What is the best way to browse and search for installed skills?

The best way to browse and search for installed skills is through the Seren Desktop catalog. You can search the marketplace catalog to discover new user guidance tools, browse active skills, and enable them per conversation thread as needed.

Do I need any prior setup to start onboarding new Seren skills?

No prior setup is needed to start onboarding Seren skills. You can directly browse the marketplace catalog, search for specific workflow tools, and enable them within your active conversation thread to immediately invoke their functionality.

Why should I use thread-scoped skill activation instead of global installation?

Thread-scoped skill activation allows you to enable and invoke skills only for the specific conversation that requires them. This targeted workflow management prevents workspace clutter and ensures the agent applies the correct user guidance per thread.
