What are Skills?
Skills are the superpowers behind your Pingd agent. Each skill is a capability — a thing your agent knows how to do. From finding anyone on LinkedIn to coaching you through a stalled deal, skills turn your AI teammate from a chatbot into a doer.
Think of it like this:
- →A language model (like Claude) is the brain — it understands language and reasons
- →OpenClaw is the nervous system — it gives the brain persistence, memory, and tools
- →Skills are the hands — each one lets your agent do something specific and useful
How skills work
You ask in plain English
"Find the CTO at Figma" or "Prep me for my 2pm call" — just talk to your agent in Slack like you would a colleague.
Your agent picks the right skill
The AI understands your intent and automatically selects the right skill (or combines multiple skills) to get the job done.

LinkedIn profiles, account briefs, deal analyses, drafted emails — everything comes back as a clean, formatted message in your DM.

Build your own skills
The best part? Your reps can create their own skills too. If a rep figures out a workflow that works, they can teach it to their agent — and it persists across restarts.
🧑💻 Rep-Created Skills
Reps can teach their agent new skills through natural conversation. "Hey, every time I ask you to prep for a meeting, I want you to also check their Twitter for recent posts." The agent saves this as a custom skill.
- ✓ Created through natural language
- ✓ Persists across sessions and restarts
- ✓ Personal to each rep's agent
- ✓ Won't be overwritten by org updates
🏢 Org-Wide Skill Deployment
Admins can deploy skills across the entire organization from the Control Center. New skills automatically propagate to all agents. Custom rep skills are preserved — org deployments never overwrite what individual reps have built.
- ✓ One-click deployment to all agents
- ✓ Skill catalog managed in Control Center
- ✓ Version control and audit trail
- ✓ Templates for common workflows

Deep dive: People Search & LinkedIn
One of the most-used skills. Here's exactly how it works.
Rep asks in Slack
Agent searches LinkedIn profiles
The People Search skill uses semantic search to find matching LinkedIn profiles. It searches by name, title, company, and description — not just exact keyword matches.
Agent enriches with context
Results are enriched with current role, company, location, and recent activity. If the rep asks for more, the Contact Enrichment skill kicks in for a full profile.
