The /create-skill command turns a plain-language description into a saved slash command. Digcrate does a real dry run first — using live tools, returning real results — so you can see exactly what the command will do before saving it.

Workflow

1

Run /create-skill with a description

Type /create-skill followed by a description of what you want the command to do.
/create-skill Pull upcoming events from The Rave Milwaukee website
Be specific. The more detail you give, the better the dry run results — and the more accurate the saved command will be.

Digcrate runs a dry run immediately

Digcrate executes the task right now using its available tools. No questions, no clarifications — it uses your description and its best judgment.For a website task, it navigates to the page and scrapes results. For a search task, it queries the relevant data sources. For research, it runs the same multi-step agent loop as any other query.
3

Results appear as interactive components

Results are displayed using OpenUI components — the same components used everywhere in Digcrate:
  • Event listings → ConcertList with venue, date, and ticket links
  • Records and releases → TrackList with links to source pages
  • Artist research → ArtistCard
  • Playlists → SpotifyPlaylist
If the data doesn’t fit a structured component, results are formatted as a markdown list with clickable links.
4

Digcrate suggests a command name

After the dry run, Digcrate suggests a command name based on your description — for example, /rave-events. Command names are lowercase with hyphens.You can accept the suggestion or ask for a different name before saving.
5

Confirm to save

Confirm that you want to save the skill. Digcrate calls save_user_skill and stores the command to your account immediately.The skill is available right away — type /rave-events in any session to run it.

Worked example

Here’s what the full flow looks like for a real skill: Input:
/create-skill Pull upcoming events from The Rave Milwaukee website
Dry run: Digcrate navigates to therave.com, scrapes the upcoming shows listing, and renders a ConcertList with artist names, dates, venues, and ticket links. Suggested command name: /rave-events After confirming: The skill is saved. From now on, typing /rave-events in any session runs the same scrape and returns fresh results every time.

What gets saved

When you confirm a skill, Digcrate stores:
FieldWhat it contains
Command nameThe slash command, e.g. rave-events
NameHuman-readable label, e.g. “The Rave Events”
DescriptionOne sentence describing what the skill does
Prompt templateThe full prompt that produced the dry run results, including instructions for OpenUI rendering and clickable links
Tool hintsThe names of the tools that worked during the dry run
Source URLThe URL of any website that was involved
The prompt template is what runs each time you invoke the skill. It includes instructions to present results using OpenUI components and to include full URLs on every item so you can click through to the source.

Editing and deleting skills

Use /skills to manage your saved commands:
  • To edit a skill’s name or description, select it from the list
  • To delete a skill, select it and choose Delete
  • To temporarily stop a skill from appearing in autocomplete, disable it without deleting
Skills run the same agent loop as every other Digcrate command. They have access to all 20+ data sources — Discogs, MusicBrainz, Last.fm, Ticketmaster, Bandcamp, WhoSampled, Wikipedia, Genius, and more. If you can describe it, you can skill it.
