🤖 Skills! AI driven prompt wizards, available first on Telegram

This update removes the guesswork from complex prompts by using LLM-powered smart skills you can personalize, refine, and reuse in your own creative workflows. Here’s what it looks like:

Quick start guide

There are two similar commands: /skill (singular) that runs the prompt request and /skills (plural) sub-command that is for managing/viewing each skill. First, let’s try making a video with the skill command.

Just describe what you want in natural language — no need for technical parameters or long prompt lists.

For example:

/skill A 1940s pinup girl

You can also use the shortcut code – just two slashes followed by a space, like this:

// A 1940s pinup girl

If you need specific dimensions, just add them naturally. Instead of /size just write it without the slash:

// A 1940s pinup girl, at size 666x444

It takes all of the technical work out of prompting completely — you then just describe exactly what you want, and it finds a “skill” that matches.

Browsing skills

Try /skill /list to see public and owned skills!

This is a list of current capabilities.

You can also search skills by keywords with /skills /search

Automatic Skill Matching

You don’t even have to remember exact skill names. The system can intelligently match your intent to the closest fitting skill and run it automatically.

For instance, there are image video generation skills available (WAN, Z-IMAGE, LTX2), you can simply write:

/skill make me an image of a horse jumping on a bomb with kittens and rainbows exploding

The bot will:

1. Auto-select a relevant workflow
2. Generate detailed prompts using best practices
3. Start the render automatically

It’s quite powerful!

Creating a skill

This section assumes you’re already an old pro at PirateDiffusion and know how to use workflows, concepts, loras, guidance, and other advanced parameters. If that is all jargon to you, you’re not ready to create skills yet. Please try those commands first, create some beautiful images, and then come back when you have a few favorite prompts under your belt. PirateDiffusion beginner’s help guide

Now let’s create a new skill.

Step 1: Open a text editor on your computer and open one of these example skill templates:

There is no one correct way to write a skill, there is no standard syntax. Simple skills and incredibly detailed skill prompts will also work as an input! What matters is that your render, concept, parameter, upper limit on things like size, and workflow syntax is accurate.

Step 2: When your template is ready, use the /skill /new command to add it to PirateDiffusion

Open your private 1:1 chat with PirateDiffusion_bot and attach the text file with the name and description in the comments box like this:

/skill /new:cool-name-of-skill Create talking and moving videos of anything you want! High image quality video generation

Tip: The description is not the prompt! Please define the prompt and instructions in the text file.

The skill is now ready to be used. Test it using /skill /run:name or use the shorthand mentioned at the top of this tutorial.

Example:

// mukbang an old asian woman eating cement in a busy lumber yard

As you can see, the skill added a lot of extra detail to our simple prompt request and all of the workflow syntax without having to mention it. It created an interesting long detailed prompt and did all of the slash command technical prompting, too.

Creation tips:

Start small. Don’t go straight into a massive wall of text with elaborate instructions. Create a small set of instructions, keep local versions of what worked and didn’t, and upload and test until it is just right.
You can use your own coding agents like Chat GPT and Kimi Code to fetch URLs to enhance your guide. Point them to Github, for example, and attach the example skills that you see on this page, like this one:Advanced video skill created with external app kimi code – github guided LTX2 skill
If you use an LLM to create your skill and its example definitions, make sure you include the official PirateDiffusion help guide as a reference. Without it, the model may invent unsupported commands (Third-party apps like Chat GPT are likely to give you bad output like Midjourney tags such as “–ar”), which can break your skill, as those parameters do not exist in PirateDiffusion.
Test your examples carefully before feeding it to the skill. If it can’t render properly on its own, it will be a headache to debug as a skill.
If you put the workflow name in square brackets in the skill, it will send the workflow help to the LLM along with your skill text.

To view how skills are saved in the system and other notes, use this command to inspect it and download the .txt file to your device:

FAQ

How can skills benefit my work?

For long-time PirateDiffusion users, Skills are a game-changer. Think of them as programmable AI macros, not just simple wildcards. Skills:

Use LLM reasoning to expand on your intent
Auto-select appropriate models and workflows (including gen models like Wan, Flux, and more)
Support structured prompts and shared workflows

They do more than generate text — they combine best prompting practices into reusable, intelligent mini-apps.

What can I create with skills?

Skills lets you build reusable shortcuts that combine many functionalities in a short prompt. You can:

Describe how a prompt should work, in natural language, providing various examples to an LLM
The LLMs (Kimi, Llama, others) handles the hard part: prompt expansion, reasoning, writing, analysis
Supports all 25,000 on-tap models and workflows like Wan, HunYuan, Flux, SDXL, Qwen, and Z-Image
Supports file inputs and structured prompts
Shareable public or private workflows – private by default

Are my skill-created outputs private?

Skills can be private, outputs are normal prompts. Nobody can see your creations unless you use skills in public groups. Your 1:1 use with PirateDiffusion bot is private by default.

The prompts created by a skill are normal, unblocked prompts that can be inspected with the /showprompt /history command when published or shared in a group. What is not viewable is the skill code that generated the prompt. Your skills are private by default unless you manually set them public.

Note that doing the /skills /list command in a group will display the names and descriptions of your skills to others.

What commands can I use inside a skill?

Every PirateDiffusion command is not compatible with skills. The available commands can be listed with:

/skills /commands

Who can create skills?

Everyone can create skills. The skills you create are private.

Public skills are also available — our moderator team is releasing new public/shared skills all of the time. When you use the /skill command for the first time, it is acquiring the vetted skills in the system. Public skills are open source — you can inspect them, download the source code, and modify them as your own.

At the moment we are limiting skill sharing to our moderator team during beta testing. This prevents low-quality or unvetted skills from entering your work.

How do reviews and voting work?

You can also give a thumbs up or thumbs down on how well the skill is working for you. This helps the creator better understand which skills are popular and spot broken or buggy ones. Votes are anonymous.

Sharing skills

It’s possible with copy and send commands as shown below if you know a friend’s debug community ID code. Ask them to give it to you by typing /debug in their bog.

However, note that you can define privacy and open source to block these features.

Can I sell skills? (YES!)

We’d like to help people monetize their skills.

Plus members can set a price on their skills or make their source private. A skill with a price can’t be copied. Right now, you’ll have to find a way to transfer money from your buyer, and then use `/skill /send:skillname Uxyz123` to give them their own copy.

The customer’s user id can be found in their `/debug` output. If the skill you sell is open source, they will be able to improve it or sell their variant. We recommend open source skills for transparency.

In the near future, Graydient will provide a marketplace for skills that take convenient payment and earn you income.
