Skills & Apps
BlinkLife’s sidebar gives you access to a set of purpose-built app spaces, each powered by your AI companion. Skills extend what your companion can do within those spaces.

You can show or hide apps in Settings → Tools.
Skills
Skills are reusable behaviours that change how your companion responds in a given context — a polished writing style, a specific framework, a personality, or domain expertise. Browse, toggle, and create skills in the Skills section of the sidebar.
Creating a custom skill
Click Create Skill and fill in:
- Icon and Name — how it shows up in the list (e.g. 🍱 Meal Planner)
- Category — Custom, Tools, Writing, Listening, or Wellness
- What should your companion do? — a plain-language prompt describing the behaviour. We polish it once you save.
- Connect a Brain (optional) — give the skill grounding from a Brain so it draws on your own knowledge
Toggle skills on or off from the list. Active skills are applied automatically when relevant to the conversation.
