Skills and Custom Instructions

Last updated October 28, 2026

You can shape how Classgrid AI talks to you. Set a default tone and length, tell it who you are, and add your own skills, which are saved instructions for a kind of job. Everything you set here is used in every chat.

Open the Skills panel

In the message box, click the sliders icon (AI Hub).
Open the Skills section.

You'll find three parts: Behavior Defaults, Custom Instructions and your custom skills.

Behavior Defaults

Behavior Defaults set the general style of every answer.

Setting	What it changes
Base Tone	The overall voice of the AI
Verbosity	How long answers are
Format	How answers are laid out
Emoji	How much the AI uses emoji
Explanation Level	How simple or detailed explanations are

Pick the options that suit you. You can change them any time.

Custom Instructions

Custom Instructions tell the AI about you, so it doesn't have to ask every time.

Field	What to write
Nickname	What you'd like the AI to call you
Occupation	Your job, for example "Shop owner" or "Freelance designer"
What would you like Classgrid AI to know about you?	Background that helps, for example your city, your work, the tools you use or your goals
How would you like Classgrid AI to respond?	Your preferences, for example "Use simple English", "Show the steps in calculations" or "Give code in TypeScript"

Keep it short and useful. A few clear lines work better than a long essay. Don't put passwords or other secrets here.

Add a custom skill

A skill is a saved set of instructions for a certain kind of task. When you add one, the AI follows it in your chats.

In the Skills section, click Add Custom Skill.
Give it a clear name, for example Meeting notes.
Write the instructions. For example: "When I share meeting notes, turn them into a short summary, a list of decisions and a table of action items with owners."
Save it.

Skill ideas

Skill name	Instructions
Meeting notes	Turn my notes into a summary, decisions and action items.
Short summaries	Summarise documents as short bullet points with key terms in bold.
Code reviewer	When I paste code, list bugs first, then suggestions, then a fixed version.
Caption writer	Write social media captions in a friendly tone with 3 hashtags.
Hinglish replies	Reply in simple Hinglish unless I write in English.

Let the AI save a skill for you

You can also create a skill just by asking in chat. Start your message with "remember…" or "from now on…", and the AI saves it as a skill for you. A skill card appears in the chat to show it was saved.

Examples:

"Remember that I run a small bakery in Pune and I'm planning a website."
"From now on, always give me the answer first and the explanation after."
"Remember that my company name is Sunrise Bakery and our colours are orange and cream."

How it all fits together

Where	Best for
Behavior Defaults	The general style of every answer
Custom Instructions	Facts about you and how you like replies
Custom skills	Instructions for a specific kind of task
"remember…" in chat	Quickly saving something without opening the panel
