Abilities

Abilities are procedural instructions that explain how to accomplish a goal. They can reference tasks, but they are not limited to a single task—they describe a full approach or methodology that a Builder can follow.

Typical content

Abilities often include:

  • The step‑by‑step approach to achieve an outcome.
  • Which tasks to use (and in what order).
  • Constraints, edge cases, and best practices.

Example

An ability like "Find prospects online" can describe the full workflow:

  1. Use a web search action to identify candidates.
  2. Export results into a Word template.
  3. Send outreach emails using the email action.

Why they matter

By attaching clear instructions to tasks, Abilities make Builders more reliable, consistent, and safer to use across different workflows.
