Use Skills to Tailor Your Responses
Skills let ISMS Copilot shape its responses around specific tasks in your GRC workflow. When a skill matches your request, a small badge appears in chat so you can see that specialized instructions were applied.
What Skills do
Skills are curated sets of instructions for common compliance tasks—like drafting legal clauses, building counsel briefs, or preparing readiness plans. Instead of writing detailed prompts from scratch, you enable the skills you need and let the system apply the right one automatically.
Only one skill can activate per request. The system picks the best match based on your message, or applies no skill if nothing fits.
Recognize an active skill
When a skill activates, you'll see a badge with a sparkles icon above the AI response. The badge shows the skill name.
Click the badge to open a popover with more details about what the skill does.
The skill badge is separate from framework badges. Framework badges show which standards were consulted; skill badges show when specialized instructions were applied to shape the response.
Enable or disable Skills
Skills are optional. You control which ones are available to activate.
Open Settings
Go to the Skills section
Toggle the skills you want to enable or disable
Only enabled skills can activate. If you disable all skills, the system will never apply one—your conversations will use default behavior.
You can also manage skills from the dedicated Skills page, where you can create, clone, and delete custom skills.
When Skills won't apply
Even with skills enabled, you won't see a badge on every message. Skills are skipped when:
Your message is under 10 characters
Your message is a greeting or simple acknowledgement
No enabled skill matches your request
You haven't enabled any skills
This is intentional. Skills are designed for substance—tasks that benefit from structured, specialized guidance. Short or casual exchanges don't trigger them.
If you expected a skill to activate but didn't see the badge, check that it's enabled in Settings and that your message clearly relates to what the skill does.
