Understand Reia skills

A Reia skill is a reusable instruction document for Agent work. Use skills when your team wants Reia to follow the same diligence checklist, memo standard, source-review pattern, or underwriting workflow more than once.

Skills are guidance, not source evidence. Keep source materials in the Library, assumptions in Inputs, and reviewable conclusions in the Agent transcript or working documents.

What a skill contains

Every skill starts with setup: a lowercase hyphenated name and a description that says what the skill does and when Reia should use it.

The instructions below the setup describe the workflow. Good instructions name the sources or panels that matter, the steps Reia should follow, the output shape you want, and when Reia should ask for clarification instead of proceeding.

Use headings to keep the workflow easy to scan. Useful sections include Goal, Sources, Steps, Output, Review standard, and Ask first.

When to use skills

Use a skill for work that should be consistent across deals or repeated within a deal. Good candidates include rent-roll review, T-12 variance checks, diligence-question drafting, debt sizing review, memo section drafting, and committee-ready risk summaries.

Keep each skill narrow. A rent-roll review skill should not also define the full investment memo, debt sizing policy, and closing checklist. Split those into separate skills so Reia can apply the right workflow at the right time.

How Reia uses skills

Open Agent chat and type /skills or $ to browse skills. Select a skill when the next response should follow that workflow.

Enabled skills can help Reia recognize matching work, but explicit selection is best when a workflow matters. Your current chat request still matters most, so tell Reia the exact deal question, source material, and output you want for this turn.

After Reia uses a skill, review the answer, action rows, source trail, and any proposed Input or memo changes before relying on the result.
