Skills Marketplace

Browse, install, and run pre-built agentic workflows as slash commands inside Sypha.

The Skills Marketplace is a shared library of agentic workflows — called Skills — that teams can browse, install, and run as slash commands inside Sypha. Skills let you execute repeatable, multi-step tasks with a single command rather than writing out the same instructions every time.

What is a Skill?

A Skill is a pre-built, parameterised workflow that chains together Sypha's modes, tools, and context to accomplish a repeatable task.

Built-in example Skills:

Slash CommandWhat It Does
/reviewRun a structured code-review checklist on the current diff
/doc-genGenerate documentation for a selected module
/test-genScaffold unit tests for a given file or function
/security-auditScan for OWASP top-10 vulnerabilities in the current branch

Once installed, a Skill appears in the slash-command picker whenever you type / in the chat input.

Browsing and Installing Skills

  1. Open Settings and navigate to the Skills Marketplace tab (inside the Sypha Marketplace panel — same place as MCP and Modes).
  2. Browse by category: Code Quality, Testing, Documentation, DevOps, and more.
  3. Use the search bar or Filter by tags to narrow results.
  4. Click Install on any Skill to make it available as a slash command.
  5. Installed Skills immediately appear in the slash-command picker when you type /.

Creating Your Own Skills

You can author custom Skills for your team's specific workflows. See Sypha Skills for the full authoring guide, including frontmatter format, parameter definitions, and how to publish to the community marketplace.

Community Marketplace

The Marketplace includes community-contributed Skills alongside the built-in ones. Community Skills are maintained by their authors and tagged for easy discovery. You can filter by:

  • Category — Code Quality, Testing, Documentation, DevOps, Business/Marketing, and more
  • Tags — e.g. review, quality, refactor, security

Team-Level Skills

On Team and Enterprise plans, administrators can pre-install Skills for all team members from the admin dashboard. This ensures every engineer on the team has access to the same standardised workflows without needing to install them individually.
