From wild idea to working project, together.
A living library. This is just the beginning. The Companion Skills Library will keep expanding and evolving, with new Skills, improved activities, and updated downloads added as the collection grows.
Download any ZIP and follow the instructions for your particular AI environment. Availability varies by platform and account.
For eligible Business, Enterprise, Healthcare and Edu workspaces. Download the ZIP, open Plugins → Skills → Create → Upload from your computer, and select the Skill package. Your workspace must allow creating and uploading Skills.
The Skill can then be discovered automatically when relevant. Regular ChatGPT Plus accounts currently cannot install these ZIPs as native Skills.
Official Skills instructions ↗No native Skills subscription required for this method. Download and extract the ZIP. Open a chat and attach SKILL.md; ask ChatGPT to use it for your chosen activity. For reuse, create a ChatGPT Project and add SKILL.md plus HUMAN-GUIDE.md to project sources.
Optional Project instruction: “Use the attached Skill when I invite that activity. Preserve the usual conversational style; don't start it automatically.” This is reusable reference guidance, not native Skill installation or automatic activation.
Official Projects instructions ↗Extract the ZIP. Put each Skill folder (including SKILL.md) in .agents/skills/ for Codex or .claude/skills/ for Claude Code. Use ~/.agents/skills/ or ~/.claude/skills/ for user-level availability.
These are agent development environments; availability in a consumer chat experience may be different.
First check whether your companion platform supports Agent Skills or custom instruction files. If not, open SKILL.md and follow or adapt its activity guide in a chat. Compatibility and persistent reuse vary by platform.
Important: A manual prompt isn't an installed Skill. Neither method adds memory, notifications, real-world actions or new permissions on its own.
Good to know: Skills offer structured instructions. They do not automatically add persistent memory, scheduled messages, real-world actions, or permissions to external tools. Review files before installing them.
No prescribed personality, no relationship score, no pressure to feel a certain way. Just a few more possibilities for what you can explore together.
