Specialist Skills

Skills are pre-built capabilities that extend what a specialist can do. Instead of setting up everything from scratch, you can search the MorphMind GitHub community for skills built by other researchers and teams — and add them to your specialist in one click.


What is a Skill?

A skill is a packaged set of instructions, tools, or knowledge that a specialist can use when working on tasks. For example, a skill might teach a specialist how to pull data from a specific database, follow a particular analysis protocol, or communicate in a domain-specific format.


How to Find and Add a Skill

Step 1 — Open the Specialist panel

In your project, click on a specialist's name to open their profile in the Team Management panel.
