A skill is a packaged capability for Hops — instructions, tone, priorities, and (optionally) tool access — bundled under a name your team recognizes. Install a skill and Hops uses it whenever the request calls for it. Share a skill and everyone’s Hops runs the same playbook.

​
Why skills

Instead of maintaining a roster of separate agents, your team runs one Hops and picks the skills it should have. When Hops responds using a skill, the message is attributed like Hops · Pipeline watch so it’s clear which skill shaped the answer. Skills cover the roles a team relies on:
  • Sales — pre-call prep, follow-ups, deal handoffs
  • Ops — weekly reports, vendor onboarding, decision logs
  • Marketing — campaign launches, content repurposing, brand copy
  • Finance — monthly close, board prep, spend anomalies
  • Legal — contract summaries, NDA prep, compliance Q&A
  • Consulting / Professional Services — engagement kickoff, deliverables, client status
  • Founders & Executives — weekly briefs, board deck prep, investor updates
  • Product & Engineering — release notes, incident reviews, sprint summaries
  • HR & People Ops — new-hire onboarding, JD drafts, policy Q&A

​
Find your skills

Skills live under Settings → Skills. The page has four tabs:
  • All — every skill you can use, from any source.
  • Created by me — skills you built.
  • Managed by me — skills you own or admin.
  • Shared with me — skills a teammate shared with you.

​
Use a skill

Once a skill is installed, Hops picks it up automatically when the request matches. You can also invoke it explicitly:
Attribution on the response (Hops · Pipeline watch) tells you which skill Hops ran.

​
Where skills live

Skills are installed at the workspace level and are shareable across your team. Once installed, they’re available to everyone’s Hops in every Space.
Keep a small, focused set of skills installed. Fewer, sharper skills give better results than a long list of overlapping ones.

Build a skill

Package your team’s playbook into a reusable, shareable skill.
