Refresh README, quickstart, and the docs index around Browser, Desktop, A0 CLI, projects, memory, skills, profiles, and model presets.

Add optimized scoped screenshots for Web UI, Browser, Desktop, and CLI workflows.

Trim architecture-heavy developer pages toward DeepWiki handoffs so local docs stay focused on practical user guidance.

Skills

Skills are focused instructions Agent Zero can load when a task needs them.

Most of the time, you do not need to think about skills. Ask for the work you want, and Agent Zero can load a matching skill on demand.

You can also pin a skill yourself from the chat input when you want it to stay active for the current conversation.

Open The Skills Selector

  1. Open a chat.
  2. Click the + button in the chat input area.
  3. Click Skills.

Open Skills from the chat input

The selector opens with a searchable list of skills.

Skills selector

Add Or Remove A Skill

Click a skill to add it. Active skills are shown at the top of the selector.

Active skill in the selector

To remove a skill, use the remove button in Active skills or uncheck it in the list.

Active skills are added to the Extras part of the system prompt. That means Agent Zero sees them every turn while they are active.

Tip

Keep this list short. Pin the skills you really want present all the time, and let Agent Zero load the rest only when it needs them.

When To Pin A Skill

Pin a skill when the current chat should keep following the same special procedure.

Good examples:

  • creating an Agent Profile;
  • reviewing a plugin;
  • following a writing format;
  • working with a repeated data-cleaning recipe;
  • keeping a project-specific checklist visible during a long chat.

Do not pin a skill just because it might be useful someday. A lighter prompt is usually easier for the agent to follow.

Skills, Profiles, And Projects

Control What it changes
Skills Adds a specific procedure to the current prompt extras.
Agent Profiles Changes the broader role and behavior of the chat.
Projects Adds workspace, files, memory, secrets, and project instructions.

If Agent Zero starts following an old procedure you no longer want, open the Skills selector and remove any active skill that does not belong in the chat.
