Skills
The Skills page lists every skill currently installed in tota. Skills are community or custom packages that extend the agent with new tools and capabilities.
#What each entry shows
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Skill identifier (e.g. tota-skill-pomodoro) |
| Description | What the skill does |
| Version | Installed version |
| Active | Whether the skill is currently loaded and available to the agent |
#Installing a skill
Skills are installed through the agent or via the CLI — not from the Skills UI page directly. Ask tota in Chat:
Install the pomodoro skill.
The agent uses the install_skill tool to fetch and install the package. The Skills page updates on next load.
Or install from the terminal:
tota install-skill tota-skill-pomodoro
#Using a skill
Once installed, skills are invoked through natural conversation:
Start a 25-minute focus session.
The agent selects the appropriate skill tool automatically.
#Listing skills from chat
Use the /skills slash command in Chat for a quick inline list without leaving the conversation.
