Browse and assign skills

The Skills panel Open the panel from the right sidebar. It lists every skill Cerevisor found on launch, merged from ~/.claude/skills/ and ~/.cerevisor/skills/ . Layout Skills are grouped by category (research, content, design, etc.). Each row shows: The skill's icon and name. A one-line summary (from the skill's description). Tags as small pills. A category indicator on the left edge. Panel controls Resize: Drag the left edge (180–520 px range). Collapse: Click the chevron in the header (collapses to a 34 px strip). Search: Type in the search box at the top to filter. Reset Skills: Button to force a full rescan + re-embed of all skills. Assigning a skill Two ways. Drag onto an agent Drag a skill row from the panel onto any agent card. The agent's skill slots highlight as you drag. Drop on any slot: the skill is added. Each agent can hold up to 6 skills (the MAX_ABILITY_SLOTS constant). Adding a 7th triggers a "skill slots full" toast. From the Agent Config popup Open Agent Config (click the agent's role badge). Find the Skills section. Click an empty hexagon slot to open a skill picker. Pick from the list. The picker shows the same merged skill registry as the side panel. Viewing a skill Two ways to read a skill's full documentation: Double-click a skill row in the Skills panel. Double-click an equipped skill hexagon on any agent card. This opens the Skill Viewer : a read-only rendered markdown viewer with syntax highlighting. The Skill Viewer's buttons: Edit in Workshop : opens the Skill Workshop with this skill loaded (trial/paid only). Open in file explorer : reveals the skill's folder in your OS file explorer. Close : dismisses the viewer. Removing a skill from an agent Hover the equipped skill's hexagon. An X button appears in the top-left of the slot. Click it. Removal is immediate, no confirmation. Use Ctrl+Z to undo. Recent skills Cerevisor remembers the last six skills you assigned. They appear in a "Recent" group at the top of the Skills panel for one-click access. The find_skills tool Agents can themselves search for relevant skills via the find_skills tool. The tool runs a semantic + keyword search and returns the top matches. Agents typically use this when they recognize they need a capability but don't know if it exists. This is why a well-written skill description is important: agents won't find a skill they should use if the description doesn't surface for the relevant query. Compatibility hints Some skills only work with specific providers (e.g. skills that depend on Anthropic-specific tools). Cerevisor surfaces compatibility in the Skill Viewer header and via a small badge on the skill row in the panel. The skill-preflight gate also checks compatibility before a workflow runs and blocks the run if an assigned skill won't work with the resolved provider. See Skill compatibility with providers . The "skills:updated" event When Cerevisor's background LLM-summary pass finishes (a few seconds after launch), the Skills panel updates w
