Skills
Skills are reusable execution capabilities the Pulse agent draws on to do real work. They help Pulse complete common categories of work consistently, such as drafting documents, creating artifacts, or preparing structured outputs.
What a skill is
A skill packages the know-how for a category of work — how to approach it, the steps it involves, and the tools it uses. Pulse includes 31+ skills covering a broad range of execution:
| Area | Examples |
|---|---|
| Work planning | Research, drafting, structured analysis |
| Documents | Document operations across formats |
| Integrations | Guided setup for connected tools |
| Web | Web artifact builders |
When the agent recognizes that a request matches a skill, it brings that capability to bear — producing a component, drafting a document, or preparing an integration workflow as appropriate.
Progressive disclosure
Skills load on demand. The agent does not carry every skill's full detail in context at all times. Instead, it sees what skills exist, and loads a skill's capabilities only when a task actually needs them.
This progressive disclosure keeps the working context lean. The agent stays aware of its full toolbox without paying the context cost of every skill on every turn, which matters for the long-running timeline Pulse is built around.
INFO
Progressive disclosure is why Pulse can offer dozens of skills without overwhelming the agent's context. Capabilities expand into context exactly when they are relevant, then step back out.
Skills and artifacts
Many skills produce concrete output. The web artifact builders and document skills generate files and artifacts — React components, Markdown, office documents, and diagrams — that land in your workspace file system. Integration-oriented skills help connect work to the tools managed in Integrations.
How skills combine with the rest of Pulse
Skills are the execution layer beneath the agent's reasoning. The Main Agent decides what to do; skills define how a class of work gets done; integrations give the agent reach into external systems; and tasks let that execution run in the background or on a schedule. A single request may invoke several skills in sequence.
Managing skills
Skills are managed from settings, where you can review the available library for your workspace.
