Teach the agent your research method once

A skill saves a research method, like the steps of a takhrij: what to read and in what order. The agent opens it when a question fits, and you can make your own.

How skills work

Six built in

Takhrij, the schools, biographies, tafsir, sharh and attribution.

Your own methods

Write, upload or build them with the agent, and use them at once.

Learned with you

From your studies, the agent proposes methods you approve.

Opened when it fits

The agent picks the skill for your question and shows which one.

01Built-in skills

Six methods, ready from the start

One real question for each. You never name the method: the agent opens the right one and says so above the answer. Turn any of them off, or press Edit to make it your own.

02Your skills

Write your own method

From Skills in the sidebar, press Create. Your skills work as soon as you save them, and you can keep up to 80.

03Learned by the agent

Methods the agent learns with you

After a study, the agent can propose the method it followed. Nothing takes effect until you approve it.

How the agent uses a skill

You don’t name the skill in your question

The agent sees your active skills, each with a line on when it fits. It decides which one to open, and shows you which one it used.

What a skill holds

A skill is a method, not a finding: steps to follow and books to read, not an answer to repeat.

Principles

The agent does

  • Open a skill before research that fits it
  • Show which skill it used above the answer
  • Search only inside the scope you chose

The agent doesn’t

  • Change a built-in skill
  • Save a skill, or a change to one, without your approval
  • Let a skill relax the rules on citation, honesty or scope

FAQ

Do I need to name a skill in my question?

No. The agent opens a skill when your question fits it. To choose one yourself, type / and pick it for that question.

Can a skill search outside my scope?

No. A skill only sets where the agent looks first, inside the scope you chose.

Can I change a built-in skill?

Yes. Press Edit on it and save. Your version is the one the agent uses, and Restore original brings back the version that came with the app.

Can I stop the agent proposing skills?

Yes. Set Skill proposals to Off. You can still build a skill with the agent whenever you ask.

Where are my skills kept?

On your computer, in ~/Library/Application Support/Shamela-AI on Mac or %APPDATA%\Shamela-AI on Windows, with your projects.
