Skills teach Dimension how you work. They can be simple rules (“always sign off emails with just my first name”) or deep knowledge that Dimension learns by researching your tools. Unlike workflows which run automatically, skills are used during chat — Dimension automatically picks the right skill when it’s relevant, or you can ask for one directly.
What makes up a skill
- Prompt — Instructions or a learning task for Dimension
- Integrations — Which tools the skill can access
- Memory — What the skill has learned over time from research and your feedback
Examples
Writing tone
Learning from data
Bug triage
Tell Dimension how you communicate:When drafting emails or Slack messages, match my writing tone:
- Keep it casual and direct
- Use short sentences, no filler
- Never use "I hope this email finds you well" or similar
- Sign off with just my first name
Skills can actively learn from your connected tools. For example:Learn how our fund evaluates investments by reading through
our investment memos and partner meeting notes in Google Drive.
Understand our thesis, what we look for in founders, and our
typical deal structure.
Encode your team’s process into a skill:When I ask you to triage a bug:
- Check Sentry for related errors
- Look for similar issues in Linear
- If it's a new bug, create a Linear issue with severity based on error frequency
- Post a summary in #engineering on Slack
Learning from feedback
Skills get better over time. After a skill runs, you can give it feedback in the Learn section — tell it what to do differently, and it updates its memory. Each correction makes the skill more aligned with how you work.
Use the Learn section after every skill run to fine-tune Dimension’s behavior. The more feedback you give, the better the skill gets.
Skills vs. workflows

| When they run | On-demand in chat | Automatically on a schedule or trigger |
