Discover Skills - Find and leverage workspace capabilities directly in your agents
🎯 What is it?
Dust now includes a "Discover Skills" feature that allows agents to automatically find and use relevant skills from your workspace. Builders can flag specific skills as "discoverable," making them available to global agents like @dust and @deep-dive without manual configuration.
💡 Why is it useful?
Previously, if you wanted an agent to use a specific skill, you had to manually configure it for each agent. This created friction and meant many useful workspace skills went underutilized. With discoverable skills, your agents can now intelligently tap into your organization's collective capabilities, improving the baseline experience for everyone in your workspace.
⚙️How does it work?
Builders can mark their skills as "discoverable" when creating or editing them. Once flagged, these skills become available to global agents, which can automatically detect when a skill is relevant to a user's request and activate it on the fly.
✨ Concrete Use Cases
Here's how you could use it:
Sales team collaboration: A sales ops builder creates a "CRM Integration" skill and marks it discoverable. Now when anyone asks @dust about customer data, the agent automatically uses that skill without individual setup.
Knowledge sharing: Your engineering team builds a "Code Review Helper" skill. Mark it as discoverable, and @deep-dive can leverage it whenever someone asks technical questions, instantly improving responses across the workspace.
📈 Benefits for you
-
Zero configuration: End users get access to powerful skills without any setup
-
Better agent responses: Global agents like @dust deliver more accurate, context-aware answers by tapping into workspace expertise
-
Increased skill adoption: Your team's best skills get used more widely, maximizing ROI on skill development
-
Improved baseline experience: Everyone in the workspace benefits from collective knowledge automatically
🚀 How to access it?
For Builders: When creating or editing a skill, look for the new "Make discoverable" option and enable it for skills you want to share workspace-wide.
For Users: Simply use @dust or @deep-dive as usual - they'll automatically discover and leverage relevant skills when needed.
