Skills & Memory

Chief gets better the more you use it. The system that makes this work is Skills — a structured, persistent memory of preferences, processes, and corrections, scoped to your tenant.

What Chief Remembers

Memory typeExample
User profileYour role, your tone, what you care about
Feedback”Don’t use exclamation points in marketing copy.”
Project state”We’re freezing PR merges after May 5 for the mobile release.”
Reference”All bugs are tracked in Linear project INGEST.”
Learned skillsA multi-step process you taught Chief once

Chief reads relevant memories on every turn. You don’t have to remind it.

Teaching Chief

Just talk to it.

Chief, remember that all weekly reports go to #leadership,
not #all-hands.

Got it. I’ve saved that as a workspace preference.

You can also teach a multi-step process explicitly:

Chief, here's how we do customer onboarding:
1. Create a new HubSpot deal in stage "Onboarding".
2. Send the welcome email template T-001.
3. Schedule a kickoff in their calendar two weekdays out.
4. Post a heads-up in #customer-success with their company name.

Save this as a skill called "onboard-customer".

Now any time you say “Chief, run onboard-customer for Acme,” Chief follows the saved sequence.

Browsing & Editing Memory

  • /chief-knowledge — list everything Chief knows in your tenant.
  • /chief-learn — manually save a new memory.
  • “Chief, forget that we use exclamation points sparingly.” — natural-language deletion.
  • Dashboard → Knowledge — full UI with search, edit, delete, export.

Auto-Learning

Chief watches your corrections in real time. When you say “actually, format dates as MM/DD”, Chief saves it as a feedback memory automatically. You’ll see a small confirmation in the thread.

If a memory is wrong, just correct it in conversation. Chief updates the saved version rather than appending a contradicting one.

Privacy & Scope

Memories are tenant-scoped. Two tenants — even at the same company — never share knowledge. Within a tenant, sensitive memories (e.g., personal preferences, salaries discussed in DMs) can be marked private to a single user. “Chief, save this as private to me only.”

Export & Delete

You own your memory. Dashboard → Knowledge → Export gives you a JSON dump of every memory in your tenant. Delete All wipes everything (irreversible).
