A skill is a published, reusable instruction set you run from your AI tool instead of writing the prompt yourself. Tempo stores the instructions; your AI tool loads them over MCP, follows them, and calls Tempo for the deal context it needs.

​
The built-in skills

The first four are enabled for every organization. Your admin can add the other two from the marketplace. See Organization skills.

​
Run a skill

You run skills from your AI tool, not from the Tempo app. Your connection needs Skills and Build tools. When you connect Claude, ChatGPT, or another client from Settings → Connections, check Include Skills and Build tools in the setup dialog.
1

Pick the skill

In a client that shows prompts, choose the skill by name from the prompt list. In any client, ask in plain words:
Tempo routes a morning brief or meeting prep request to the matching skill. For anything else, name the skill, for example “Run Debrief this call for the Tecca Chairs call.”
2

Answer any questions

A skill may ask which deal or meeting you mean when more than one matches. It does not guess.
3

Read the result

The skill returns a written result in the shape its instructions define, built from Tempo’s observations and deal state. Ask for the sources behind any point.

​
When a skill asks you to confirm

Built-in skills do not send email or messages. Review my CRM changes is the only built-in skill that changes anything: it shows each proposed CRM update with its evidence and acts only on the ones you explicitly confirm. If a custom skill in your organization makes changes, it should show you what it will do before it does it. Read what it proposes before confirming.

​
Use a skill from a native launcher

If you use Claude or Codex as a desktop tool, open Skills under Build in the Tempo app, open Skill downloads, and choose Download for Claude or Download for Codex. The download is a launcher that loads the current version of the skill each time you run it.

​
Create a personal skill

Personal skills are visible only to you. Organization skills are managed by admins.
1

Open Skills

In the sidebar, under Build, click Skills.
2

Create it

Under Create your skill, describe the skill you want and send it, and Tempo drafts the instructions. Or click New for a blank skill. Duplicating an existing skill with Duplicate also gives you a personal copy.
3

Edit and enable

Edit the instructions, save, and click Enable. The skill appears in your AI tool’s prompt list and through use_skill on your next session.
Every save is a version. Open the version history to restore an earlier one. To use a skill without enabling it, choose Copy as prompt and paste it into your AI tool.
