Skills are reusable instructions that teach Bap how to perform specific tasks. Instead of repeating the same context every conversation, you create a skill once and Bap can use it whenever relevant.

​
Creating a skill

Go to Settings > Skills in the app and click Create Skill. You need to provide:
  • Name — A display name for the skill (e.g., “Weekly Report”)
  • Description — A short description of what the skill does
Bap automatically generates a SKILL.md file with your skill’s instructions. This is the core of your skill — it tells Bap exactly what to do.

​
The SKILL.md file

Every skill has a SKILL.md file that contains frontmatter and instructions in Markdown: 
---
name: weekly-report
description: Generate a weekly status report from Linear and Slack
---

# Weekly Report

1. Pull my completed Linear issues from the past 7 days
2. Summarize key Slack messages from #engineering
3. Format as a status report with sections: Completed, In Progress, Blockers
You edit this file directly in the built-in editor, which supports headings, lists, code blocks, and other Markdown formatting.

​
Adding files

You can add extra files to a skill beyond SKILL.md. This is useful for templates, examples, or reference material that Bap should follow when executing the skill.

​
Uploading documents

Skills support document uploads (PDFs, images, etc.) that Bap can reference. This is useful for providing brand guidelines, templates, or any reference material.

​
Enabling and disabling

Each skill has an enabled/disabled toggle. Disabled skills are not available to Bap during conversations. This lets you keep skills around without them cluttering your active set.
