You can give the agent guidance that lasts beyond one request.

Writing rules

Save a short instruction that the agent should follow across requests, such as a required term or heading style.

Style guidance

Paste your writing, run the style analysis, and finalize a skill the agent follows for your voice.

Skills

Add a reusable procedure that explains how to complete a specific kind of work with several steps.

​
Choose the right type

  • Use a rule for a short instruction, such as a required term or citation format. Enabled rules apply to your later requests.
  • Use an intended audience when you want to name the reader, such as busy managers or first-year students.
  • Use style guidance when you want the agent to learn your voice from several of your passages and follow that skill on later requests.
  • Use a skill for a task with a reusable procedure, such as reviewing prose or building a preview. You can run the skill directly or ask for it in Chat.
You can use more than one type in the same project. For example, a rule can require plain headings while an intended audience names the reader, a reference shows the voice you want, and a skill describes the review process.

​
Set the intended audience

Open Settings, then Intended audience. Write who you are writing for in your own words. For example:
Choose Save when the description is ready. Choose Clear when you no longer want a specific reader.
The Intended audience panel open from Settings
When you save or clear the audience, the agent wakes and uses the new description on later requests.
