Generate skills with AI
By the end of this page you will know how to have qRaptor draft complete skills for you, review them, and add them to your agent.
Prerequisites
- An AI Agent open in the editor (Create an AI Agent).
- Admin or Developer role.
- The agent must be saved at least once (generation needs the agent and project).
What AI Generate does
The AI Generate button in the Agent Skills section drafts one or more complete skills — name, description, tags, system prompt, and a suggested tool whitelist — from a short instruction and the context you select. It’s the fastest way to go from an idea to a working starting point.
This is different from the per-skill AI Assist button, which only drafts the system prompt for a single skill. AI Generate creates whole skills. See Advanced skill settings for AI Assist.
Generate skills
Open AI Generate
In the Agent Skills section, click AI Generate. A dialog opens for describing the skills you want.
Add context
Select the context the generator should consider:
- Tables — Data Vault tables the skills may read or write.
- Tools — system, project, MCP, or Task Agent tools the skills may use.
- Content stores — RAG stores for knowledge-based skills.
Selected context appears as chips so you can see exactly what’s included.
Describe what you want
In the instruction box, describe the capabilities you need — for example, “A skill to answer questions about our product catalog and a skill to check order status.” Choose a model with the model selector if you want a specific one.
Generate and review
Run the generation. Review the proposed skills — their names, descriptions, prompts, and tools.
Accept the skills
Accept the skills you want. They’re added to the agent as new skill cards, where you can edit them like any other skill.
Treat generated skills as a draft. Review the system prompts and tool whitelists, tighten the tags for matching, and test before publishing.
Save your changes
Click Save in the header to persist the new skills into a draft version.
Common issues
- AI Generate is disabled — The agent isn’t saved yet, or there’s no project context. Save the agent first.
- Generated skills overlap — Merge or delete near-duplicate skills so matching stays unambiguous.
- A generated skill references a tool that needs setup — Configure the tool’s credentials before relying on it. See Configuration & secrets.
