Canvas Skills
Distinguish applying a template from activating guidance for the Agent.
Open the Skills drawer
Use the Skills icon in the canvas left dock. The current /skills page redirects to the workspace; do not expect a separate Skills management page there.
- Open any canvas and click Skills Library.
- Search a name or tagline, then open the desired card.
Apply a canvas template
Apply to canvas loads the Skill’s template and prepares a pending patch. The nodes are placed only after you click a free position on the canvas. A Skill without template nodes returns an error.
- Choose Apply to canvas from a Skill detail.
- Close the drawer if needed and click an empty area to place the template.
Activate guidance for Agent
Activate for Agent stores the selected Skill context in browser storage and updates canvas Agent memory. It does not automatically place the template or run a media model.
- Choose Activate for Agent on the Skill detail.
- Open Agent and make a request that describes how to use this Skill.
Create or inspect a Skill
The drawer provides New, card details and an editor. Its search filters name, tagline and category; visible category, Favorites, Recent and commercial-use controls should not be assumed to enforce additional filtering just because they change appearance.
- Open New to inspect the editor fields before saving.
- Verify the created item appears in the grid after refresh.
Troubleshoot a missing template
Applying and activating take different paths. A successfully activated instruction is not evidence of a template being placed, and a pending placement can be cancelled by leaving the canvas.
- Check whether the card actually has canvas template nodes.
- If a placement ghost remains, click blank canvas before expecting the nodes to persist.
Example: reuse a product-shot Skill
A Skill containing a canvas template can set up a node arrangement. Its written instructions may separately guide the Agent when activated. These are two explicit choices, not one combined operation.
- Apply its template, place it, and inspect the generated nodes.
- If you want the Agent to follow its instructions as well, activate it for Agent before sending the next request.
If a tab does not narrow results
In the current grid, the working text search filters by name, tagline and category. Other displayed tabs and the commercial toggle update local control state but do not feed that filtering calculation.
- Use a distinctive search term to locate a Skill.
- Read the Skill detail rather than relying on a tab label as a license or usage guarantee.
