Create AI SRE skills

Learn how you can create skills for AI SRE to kick off repeatable investigation playbooks.

Create your own skills for AI SRE to use, or use a skill provided by Observe.

Skills let teams encode repeatable investigation playbooks, such as investigating latency spikes or debugging frequent pod crashes, so the agent runs them consistently. Once a skill exists, anyone in the workspace (depending on visibility) can trigger the skill from chat without needing to re-explain the procedure.

Manage your skills

Perform the following tasks to see which skills are available, and to delete or create new skills:

  1. Hover on your user name, then click Manage account.
  2. Select AI skills. All of your skills, both private skills and skills available in the workspace, are listed, along with any other skills with workspace permissions created by other users on the same tenant. Private skills from other users won't be listed.
  3. Hover on any skill, then click the trash can icon () to delete the skill.

Create a new skill

You can create a new AI skill from the AI Skills page, or directly from AI SRE.
