Using Xome

Skills.

Teach Xome repeatable workflows in plain Markdown. Skills activate by phrase, or explicitly with a /command.

Creating a skill

Settings → Skills → New skill. A skill has a name (its /command), a one-line description, optional trigger phrases, and Markdown instructions:

Example
Name         meeting-notes
Description  Turn raw notes into structured meeting minutes
Triggers     meeting notes, summarize meeting

When the user shares meeting notes:
1. Extract decisions and their owners
2. List action items with deadlines
3. Keep the summary under 200 words

How activation works

  • By phrase: when a message matches a trigger phrase (or scores highly against the name/description), the skill's instructions are injected into the system prompt for that turn. Matching is lexical, fast, deterministic, no extra model calls.
  • Explicitly: type /meeting-notes … in the composer. Typing / shows a menu of all commands and skills.
  • Toggle a skill off to keep it without it ever activating.

Sharing & portability

  • Share link: the Share button copies a URL that encodes the whole skill in the fragment (/skill#…), it never touches a server. Recipients review it and click “Add to my Xome.”
  • SKILL.md files: Export/Import uses the portable frontmatter format (name, description, triggers + Markdown body), compatible with the wider SKILL.md ecosystem.
Skills are instructions the model follows on your behalf. Review shared skills before adding them, treat them like installing an extension.
