The AI skill feature lets you build specific actions that Dart’s AI can perform inside chat. Think of it as giving Dart a tool it can use on demand, for example, “brainstorm a set of tasks” or “plan out a project.”
What is an AI skill?
An AI skill is mainly about helping you accomplish a specific goal or action inside AI chat, like brainstorming tasks, planning a project, or organizing ideas. Unlike Dart AI's guidelines, which shape how Dart AI behaves across all chats, a skill is designed to run a particular process on demand.
You can still include guidelines inside a skill (such as setting a tone, style, or brand language), but those only apply while that AI skill is being used in your current chat. The core purpose of a skill is to carry out an action that moves your work forward.
