Every Skill in Cluing has two layers: the instructions that tell your agent what to do, and the knowledge that helps it do the job right.
The instructions live in the Skill. The knowledge lives in a connected Topic.
Together, they give your agent a workflow and the context to run it — every time, without you rewriting a prompt from scratch.
1. Instructions layer
This defines the workflow your agent should follow.
For example:
How to write SEO articles
How to analyze customer interviews
How to prepare competitor research
How to review product feedback
You create these instructions once, and reuse them whenever you need that workflow.
2. Knowledge layer
The knowledge behind your Skill lives in Topics.
Topics can include:
Saved web pages
PDF documents
LinkedIn, Reddit, and X posts
YouTube videos
Notes and comments
Research insights from your team
This gives your agent the context it needs to produce better results.
