Skills

Skills for the AI assistant you already use

Skills are small instruction packs your own AI assistant loads. Claude reads only a skill's title and short description to decide when to use it; the full skill loads on a match.

No Tooling Studio install needed to download.

Our skills

One skill ready, three on the way

Mentor

Available now

Your own AI mentor: one voice blended from three to five people you admire, plus a plan it reads every session. Sets your week on Monday and reviews it on Friday.

About two hours to set up, once.

What it's for

A mentor you can talk to whenever you want, and plan your week with. In setup you pick three to five people you admire. The mentor researches them, then interviews you with about 25 questions, one at a time, and writes your life plan. You get two files: Mentor_Reference_v1.md and My_Life_Plan_v1.md.

How you use it

Monday: set the week. Mid-week: ask it when you are stuck. Friday: review. With the Tooling Studio connector it reads last week's tasks and puts this week's tasks on your board; without a board you get the week as a list in the chat.

Suggested first prompt

Set up my mentor.

After setup, on Mondays ask it to set your week.

Setup steps

Set up the mentor skill

The download is mentor.zip. Inside is one folder, mentor, with one file, SKILL.md. That file holds all the instructions. Claude reads it as a skill. Other assistants can read the same file as instructions.

Pick your assistant below. Then start a new chat and type: "Set up my mentor."

Claude (recommended)

Works on every plan, including Free.

  1. In Settings > Capabilities, check that Create and edit files is on.
  2. Go to Customize > Skills.
  3. Click +, then Create skill, then Upload a skill, and choose mentor.zip. Do not unzip it.
  4. Make sure the skill is switched on.
  5. Optional but useful: create a Project called "Mentor" and do the setup in there. Add the two files the mentor gives you to that project's files, so every chat in it knows you.

On a Team or Enterprise plan, an admin may have to allow your own skills first.

ChatGPT

Business, Enterprise and Edu: ChatGPT has skills too.

  1. Open the sidebar and choose Plugins, then the Skills tab.
  2. Choose Create, then Upload from your computer, and upload mentor.zip.
  3. On Enterprise and Edu, an admin has to switch skills on first.

Free, Plus and Pro: use a project.

  1. Unzip mentor.zip.
  2. Create a project called "Mentor" and add SKILL.md to its files.
  3. In the project instructions, paste: "You are my mentor. Follow the instructions in SKILL.md."

Gemini

Use a Gem.

  1. Unzip mentor.zip.
  2. In Gemini, go to Gems and create a new Gem called "Mentor".
  3. In the instructions, paste: "You are my mentor. Follow the instructions in the file SKILL.md."
  4. Add SKILL.md as a knowledge file and save.
  5. When the mentor gives you your two files, add them to the Gem's knowledge too.

Microsoft Copilot

Microsoft 365 Copilot (work account): where your company has turned it on, Copilot Cowork accepts skills. Open Customize and upload mentor.zip. Rollout differs per company; ask your IT team if you do not see it.

Otherwise: create an agent (or a notebook) called "Mentor", paste "You are my mentor. Follow the instructions in SKILL.md" as its instructions, and add SKILL.md as a file.

Connect your board (optional, makes Mondays much better)

With a connected board, the mentor reads last week's tasks and puts this week's tasks on your board itself, with a description and a deadline. Without one it still works, and gives you the week as a list in the chat.

Tooling Studio has a connector for this:

  1. Sign in to Tooling Studio with Google.
  2. Go to Settings > Account > AI, switch on MCP access and copy the server URL.
  3. Add it to your assistant as a custom connector (in Claude: Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector). Sign in with the same Google account.

Full steps per assistant: tooling.studio/mcp. Custom connectors are widely available in Claude. In ChatGPT they depend on your plan. In Gemini and Copilot they are mostly limited to company plans for now.

Your files

The mentor writes two files for you: Mentor_Reference_v1.md (how it acts as your mentor) and My_Life_Plan_v1.md (your plan). Download them when it hands them over, and keep them in your project or Gem. When your plan changes, the mentor writes a v2.
