What skills are

Saved, repeatable playbooks the AI can run on your studio — the ones we ship, and the ones you build yourself.

A skill is a saved, repeatable playbook the AI can run on your studio. Instead of re-typing a multi-step analysis every time, you (or anyone on your team) just ask for it by name and the AI runs the whole thing the same way every time.

Think of a skill as a recipe. "Find members at risk of leaving" isn't one question — it's a series of steps (pull recent attendance, compare to each member's normal pattern, rank by how far they've slipped, draft the outreach). A skill bundles those steps so they run consistently and you don't have to remember them.

Three kinds of skill

• Free built-in skills — a curated library we ship and keep current, covering the questions most studios ask. Included with every workspace. See The built-in library.
• Skills you build yourself — playbooks you create for the way your studio works, and share with your team so everyone's AI runs them the same way. Listing them on the marketplace for other studios is rolling out over time. See Build your own & share with your team.
• Skills you get from the marketplace — paid add-ons you choose for your studio. Studio Ignition, our flagship staged diagnostic, is the headline one, with more added over time. See Studio Ignition.

All three live in one place: your Skills page in the operator app (app.kula.digital) — a marketplace and builder where you browse what's included, add paid skills, and author your own.

Where skills show up

Skills appear inside your AI assistant. In Claude you'll find them as ready prompts you can pick, and you can always just ask for one in plain English:

"Run the at-risk members skill for the last 30 days."

Because skills travel with your studio (not with one assistant), the same skill works whether you ask in Claude today or another assistant tomorrow — and everyone connected to your studio sees the same set.

Why they're worth it

• Consistency. The analysis runs the same way every time, so you're comparing like with like week to week.
• Speed. One ask instead of ten.
• Shared know-how. The best way you've found to look at your studio becomes something your whole team can run — it doesn't live only in your head.
