Skills are specialized instructions that guide how Maker handles specific tasks. Each one comes with domain knowledge and best practices baked in, so Maker knows exactly what to do.


Key Benefits

  • Get more out of Maker without extra effort. Skills unlock capabilities you might not even know exist, like full performance audits, accessibility checks, and animation workflows, all without needing to know the right prompt.

  • Consistency across your projects. Instead of explaining the same instructions every time, Skills make sure Maker follows the same approach every session.

  • Tailored to how you work. Maker learns from your chat history and surfaces custom Skills based on your actual workflows, so the tool gets smarter the more you use it.

  • Turn any workflow into a repeatable process. Whether it's a bug fix, a design pattern, or a QA checklist, you can save it as a Skill and come back to it whenever you need it.


Steps

In the editor, click the + button at the bottom of the chat, then select Skills. You'll see a searchable list of all available Skills. Tap the + icon next to any Skill to add it to your current chat.

Built-in Skills

These are ready to use out of the box. Some examples of what's available:

  • Performance / Core Web Vitals - Audit your site for speed and page experience metrics like LCP, INP, and CLS

  • Accessibility - Check your pages against WCAG 2.1 guidelines

  • Animate - Add animations and micro-interactions to your designs

  • SEO - Optimize pages for search visibility and ranking

  • Copywriting - Rewrite or improve marketing copy across your site

  • Frontend design - Build polished, production-grade UI components

  • Polish - Catch the small details that separate good work from great work

There are many more to explore. If you're not sure what Maker can do, browsing the Skills list is a great place to start.

Custom Skills (auto-generated)

Maker continuously reviews your chat history and looks for patterns or workflows that could be turned into a reusable Skill, just for you. When it finds something, that custom Skill will show up automatically in your Skills list. No action needed on your end.

Save something as a Skill

If Maker just helped you with something you know you'll want to repeat (a specific workflow, a set of instructions you gave it, or a tricky bug fix you want to remember), type "save this as a skill" in the chat. Maker will package it up so it's available for next time.

Create a custom Skill manually

You can also build your own Skill from scratch:

  1. Go to Settings > Memory & Skills

  2. Give your Skill a name

  3. Select "Skill" under Type and the description of the Skill

  4. Add instructions for what Maker should do when this Skill is used

This is great for standardizing how your team handles recurring tasks or for documenting specific approaches you want Maker to follow every time.

Good to know

  • You can add multiple Skills to a single chat if needed.

  • Custom Skills (both auto-generated and manually created) are private to your account.


Also updating the What's New blurb with the same change:


Skills are now front and center

You've always had access to powerful Skills like performance audits, web vitals checks, animations, and more, but until now, Maker chose when to use them behind the scenes. Now you can browse and apply Skills yourself, right from the editor.

A few highlights:

  • Browse all available Skills and add them to any chat

  • Maker will also review your chat history and surface custom Skills tailored to your workflows

  • Ask Maker to "save this as a skill" anytime you want to turn a workflow or fix into something repeatable

  • Or create your own custom Skills manually in Settings > Memory & Skills
