Skills

A skill is a written playbook — a set of rules and a worked approach for a specific kind of video. Where a snippet is a few standing rules, a skill is a full method the agent reads before it starts building.

Open Skills and Connectors in the sidebar to see them.

Built-in skills

fluos ships with a library of skills covering the video types it makes most often — product launches, explainers, social cuts, data stories, logo animation, caption styling, and the motion craft underneath all of them.

You do not need to enable these. The agent picks the relevant ones on its own based on your brief. Browsing them is still worth ten minutes: the skill list is effectively a map of what fluos is good at, and reading one tells you exactly what vocabulary to use in your prompts.

New motion videos start from an editorial direction: generous space, clear typography, meaningful color and connected transformations. Your brand, references and explicit style take precedence. Follow-up edits preserve the existing look, and a still reading hold or settled ending is an intentional part of the motion.

For a short abstract launch or brand film, ask for an abstract teaser or mention @abstract-teaser. It follows one subject-specific object as it changes form and meaning, rather than a sequence of product-demo cards. The default is 12 seconds at 16:9; specify another duration or ratio when needed. Music and narration are added when requested, and looping is optional.

@abstract-teaser Make a 12-second film for our shared calendar.
A time slot becomes a connected week, then resolves to our name.
Use our brand colors, sparse copy and a clean held ending.

Calling a skill directly

Type / in the composer to open the skill picker, or @ followed by the skill name. That inserts an @skill-name mention, which loads that skill up front instead of leaving the choice to the agent.

@social-vertical Make a 12-second cut of this for TikTok.

Use this when you know exactly which playbook you want, or when the agent picked a different one than you expected.

Writing your own

Ask for it in chat:

Write a skill for our weekly changelog videos:
16:9, 25 seconds, dark background, one feature per scene,
our orange accent, always end on the docs URL.

fluos writes the skill and saves it to your workspace. This is a conversational request, not a build — it does not consume a build or produce a video.

Custom skills are workspace-scoped, so everyone on the team gets them.
