Skills & Slash Commands

Browse, edit, and insert the skills and slash commands your AI agents can run — from the desktop and from your phone.

Most coding agents support skills (reusable instruction packs) and slash commands (shortcuts you type into the prompt). They live in different folders for every agent and are easy to forget you wrote. 1DevTool puts them all in one browser.

Skills browser

Opening the browser

Skills in the top bar. It lists what each installed agent has, reading from that agent's own directory — so a skill you wrote by hand outside 1DevTool shows up here too.

Editing

Open a skill to read it, and edit it in place. The editor renders Markdown, including Mermaid diagrams, so a skill that documents a flow is readable rather than raw.

Inserting one into a prompt

In Agent Input, type the prefix your agent expects and pick from the autocomplete list.

The prefix differs by agent, and 1DevTool uses the right one:

  • Codex uses $skill for skills, and keeps /command for its built-in commands
  • Most other agents use /

Each prefix shows its own autocomplete list, so a Codex skill is never inserted as a slash command that Codex does not have.

From your phone

The skills picker is available in Remote Control too — open a terminal on your phone, tap the skills button, and insert one without typing its name from memory.

Orchestration skills

1DevTool installs its own skill into each agent's directory: the instructions that teach agents how to delegate, how to reply to a peer, and which swarm targets are supported. You can read the compiled version in the Skill tab of the Orchestration Dashboard.

Those instructions refresh on the next app start after 1DevTool updates them, so an agent's understanding of orchestration follows the app version rather than drifting.

Where each agent keeps its skills

1DevTool writes into the directory each agent actually reads, and only into agent homes that already exist — installing 1DevTool never creates a config folder for an agent you do not have.
