🎯 Concepts at a glance

• Assistant — A focused AI persona built on top of a backend Agent. Has a name, avatar, description, Rules (Markdown system prompt), and a set of enabled Skills.
• Backend Agent — The engine that actually runs (Built-in Aion CLI, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Qwen, Cursor, etc.). Same Rules/Skills can run on different backends.
• Skill — A Markdown pack (SKILL.md) that gives the assistant extra capabilities (file format handlers, document generators, MCP tool packs, domain references). Built-in skills include pptx, docx, xlsx, pdf, mermaid, and more.

Skills come from three sources:

1. Built-in — shipped with AionUi
2. Custom — your own Skills folders, scanned from a path you configure
3. Extension — provided by external Agent extensions

🚀 Using assistants

Pick one

• Open AionUi → click the assistant chip in the conversation header
• Or create a new conversation and pick from the list

Configure (optional)

Open Settings → Assistants to:

• Switch the backend Agent (Built-in Aion CLI, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Qwen, Cursor, OpenCode, Snow CLI, …)
• Edit Rules (Markdown system prompt)
• Toggle Skills on or off
• Add Custom Skill folders from your machine

Built-in vs custom

• Built-in assistants: name + avatar locked, but you can change description, Rules, Skills, and backend. Cannot be deleted (only disabled).
• Custom assistants: fully editable, including name and avatar. Created from Settings → Assistants → Create.

---

🎨 Adding custom Skills

A custom Skill is just a folder containing SKILL.md:

---
name: my-skill
description: One-line description of what this skill does
---

# My Skill

Long-form usage instructions go here. Markdown only — no code execution unless
the Skill explicitly invokes a tool.

To register your folder:

1. Settings → Assistants → open an assistant
2. Skills → Add Skills
3. Pick a detected common path (~/.claude/skills, ~/skills) or paste an absolute path
4. AionUi scans for SKILL.md files and lists them as toggleable Skills

---

💡 Best practices

• Pick the right backend — Claude Code is great for code; Built-in Aion CLI is great as a default; Codex/Cursor have their own strengths.
• Keep Rules tight — short imperative prompts, headings + lists, concrete examples.
• Don't over-enable Skills — only turn on what the task actually needs.
• Custom Skills should be focused — one folder, one purpose.

Multi-assistant workflows

Run different assistants in different conversations and pass artifacts between them:

• Pitch + visuals: Pitch Deck Creator drafts the deck → Beautiful Mermaid adds diagrams → UI/UX Pro Max suggests visual treatments
• Hiring: Social Job Publisher writes the JD → publishes to multiple platforms
• Research → paper: Cowork gathers files → Academic Paper Writer drafts the paper → Word Creator finalizes
