Skills

A skill is a playbook for the assistant. It describes when to use it, which steps to take and how to format the result. Turn a skill on in a chat, and the assistant follows it.

Find skills under Skills in the sidebar.

System skills and organization skills

There are two kinds of skills:

• System skills are provided and maintained by Morrison. There are 23, covering common SEO and content jobs such as briefs, refresh plans, FAQ research, on-page and schema fixes, and brand-voice checks. They are read-only and improve as we ship updates.
• Organization skills are your own. They are written in plain Markdown, scoped to your organization, and can be edited by anyone on your team.

Using a skill in chat

Skills are opt-in per chat:

1. Click + in the chat composer
2. Open Skills and check the skills you want. Use the search box to find one quickly.

The selection stays on for that chat. Active skills appear as chips in the composer, and you can remove them there. On an empty chat you can also start straight from a skill.

Required tools

A skill can list the data sources it needs under Required tools, for example Google Search Console or Ahrefs. When the skill is active in a chat, those data sources are switched on automatically and stay on while the skill is active.

If a required data source is not connected for the website, the composer says which one is missing and links you to Integrations. See Integrations.

Creating a skill

1. Open Skills and click New
2. Give the skill a title
3. Add a description for your team
4. Under For assistant, write one sentence that tells the assistant when to use the skill
5. Write the Instructions: when to use it, what steps to take and how to format the output
6. Optionally add Required tools
7. Click Save skill

Generate skill with AI

Not sure where to start? Click AI suggest to open Generate skill with AI. Describe what you want the assistant to do, and Morrison drafts a complete skill with a title, description and instructions. You can edit the draft before you save it.

For an existing draft, Improve with AI rewrites it based on a note from you, or gives it a general polish if you leave the note empty.

Sharing

Two switches control who sees a skill:

• Share across organization: when on, everyone in the organization sees the skill in the list and the chat menu. When off, the skill is private and marked Only you, so it doesn't appear in your teammates' lists or chat menus.
• Active in chat menu: when off, the skill is hidden from the chat menu. It shows as Off in the list.

Sharing skills across your organization is included on every plan.

Writing good skills

• One job per skill: a focused skill is easier for the assistant to follow
• Be specific about the output: say which sections, tables or scores you want
• Name the data: tell the assistant which data sources and pages to use, and add them as required tools
• Use your context: refer to your brand guidelines or product documents in Context
• Iterate: run the skill, look at the result, and refine the instructions

Skills in automations

Automations can use skills too. Add a skill to an automation's instructions, and every scheduled run follows the same playbook. See Automations.
