How to create skill?

[CWfrodz]

Need Step-by-step instructions are needed

It is unclear how to create skills.
When adding an assistant, when I click Add skill, I select the desired skill, it says it has already been added, but it is not displayed. Also, when selecting “main agent,” it would be great to add a custom selection.

Hi! Here's a step-by-step guide to create and use skills in AionUi:

Creating a Custom Skill

1. Navigate to the skills folder:

Skills are stored in the skills/ directory of your AionUi installation.

2. Create a new skill file:

Create a new .json or .yaml file in the skills/ folder. Here's a basic structure:

{
  "name": "My Custom Skill",
  "description": "Description of what this skill does",
  "prompts": [
    {
      "role": "system",
      "content": "You are a helpful assistant specialized in..."
    }
  ],
  "tools": []
}

3. Restart AionUi to load the new skill.

Troubleshooting: "Skill already added but not displayed"

This is a known UI refresh issue. Try these steps:

1. Close and reopen the assistant panel
2. Restart AionUi completely
3. Check the console for errors (View → Toggle Developer Tools)

If the issue persists, it might be a bug. Consider opening an Issue with:

• Your AionUi version
• OS (Windows/macOS/Linux)
• Steps to reproduce

Adding Custom Agent Selection

Currently, the "main agent" selection is predefined. For custom agents:

1. Go to Settings → LLM Configuration
2. Add your custom model/agent configuration
3. The new agent should appear in the selection dropdown

You can also check the docs folder for more detailed configuration guides.

I added many models, but they are not displayed in the list of models when creating an assistant.

And when I start a conversation in the Gemini CLI tab, regardless of what model name I specify, it still uses Gemini by default. Maybe you need to add a tab where the model I specified will be used directly?

hello @CWfrodz the main agent is something like Gemini CLI/ Claude Code/ Codex, not LLM.
the name has been updated in the new release. sorry for the misunderstanding
