Overview

Skills teach your agents how to perform a task. Instead of starting from a blank document, you can build a skill from a template — a ready-to-edit outline for a common workflow, such as a payer enrollment or credentialing process. This guide walks through creating a skill from the BCBS North Carolina Individual Practitioner Enrollment template.

Step 1: Open the Skills page

From the sidebar, click Skills, then click the + New skill button in the skills panel.

Step 2: Browse the template catalog

The Create a skill dialog opens with the template catalog. You can start blank or pick a template — everything stays editable after the skill is created. Use the search-friendly list to scroll through templates, or narrow it down with the theme tags at the top. Click +N more to expand the full list of themes.

Step 3: Filter by theme

Click a theme tag to show only matching templates. For example, selecting payer-enrollment narrows the catalog to payer enrollment templates like the BCBS provider enrollment workflows.

Step 4: Preview the template

Click a template to select it. A preview opens showing the template’s purpose, variables, and step-by-step outline, and the skill name is pre-filled with the template name — edit it if you want a different name.

Step 5: Build the skill

Click Build from template. A new agent session opens in plan mode: the agent picks up the template and starts drafting the skill from its outline.

Once the agent finishes, the new skill appears in your skills list. From there you can review the draft, tweak the steps, and fill in any organization-specific details before putting the skill to work.

Tips

  • Templates are starting points — every section of the generated skill remains editable.
  • Theme tags can be combined with scrolling the catalog to quickly find the right workflow (for example credentialing, provider-enrollment, or a specific payer).
  • If none of the templates fit, choose Blank skill to start from an empty document instead.
