Practice 8: Self-Evolution — Creating Your Own Skills ​

Scenario ​

You have a recurring workflow that you want to automate with a custom skill, extending Tencent WorkBuddy's capabilities.

Steps ​

  1. Define what your skill should do
  2. Create a new task: "Create a Tencent WorkBuddy skill that [your description]"
  3. Tencent WorkBuddy generates the skill files (YAML configuration + implementation)

A Tencent WorkBuddy skill typically includes:

  • README: Documentation for the skill
