Skills, tools, and prompts
Tools perform actions, skills describe reusable methods, and prompts save instructions you want to use again. They are complementary ways to make Gideon more useful.
Tools perform the work
A tool may read a file, query a service, or make a change. Its availability depends on the installed app, permissions, and task mode. Inspect the action when an approval is requested.
Skills capture a method
Open Skills to review available methods. Start with an approach that has worked on a real task. Describe when it should apply, the steps, and how to check the result. Do not store credentials in skill text.
Prompts save a starting point
Open Prompts for reusable briefs. A saved prompt is useful when you repeat a request with different source material. In chat, the leading @ menu can suggest saved prompts; supply the values a prompt expects.
Turn this successful review process into a reusable method. Include when to use it, required inputs, the review steps, and the evidence needed before calling the result complete. Present it for review.
Keep reusable material current
Review instructions after the connected service or workflow changes. Remove obsolete assumptions. A skill is guidance for the agent; it does not grant access that a tool or app lacks.
Use Learning to review proposed changes and their supporting evidence.
