Skills and personality
Two ways your assistant improves over time: skills (things it learns to do) and its persona (who it becomes). Both are visible and under your control — your assistant proposes, you decide.
Skills
A skill is a reusable procedure — a repeatable way of doing a task. Your assistant builds up a library of them.
You can teach one directly, in conversation. Just explain how you do something:
“Let me show you how I review a pull request: first check the diff size, then…”
The assistant drafts the skill, shows it back to you (name, when to use it, the steps), and saves it only after you confirm. You can refine a skill later (“also run the linter first”) or drop one you no longer want.
It starts with a few. A fresh assistant comes with some starter skills, and it can also consult a small shared library of general-purpose skills that ships with Aivyx PA.
It also learns skills on its own. After handling something complex, it may notice a repeatable pattern and propose it as a skill for your approval. And as skills get used, the assistant can suggest sharper versions of ones that aren’t working well.
The Skills screen
The Skills screen is your assistant’s full skill library. Each skill shows how effective it’s been, where it came from (you taught it, or it learned it), and how it has evolved. It’s the read-only inventory; you approve and edit skills from the Agents screen.
Persona — the character it earns
The Profile you set at creation is who your assistant starts as. Its persona is the deeper character it develops as it works with you — learned preferences, communication style, things it should remember about you, habits to keep or avoid.
Crucially, the assistant never changes its own character silently. When it learns something about how to work with you better, it proposes a change. You review it on the Agents screen and:
- Approve it as-is,
- Edit it first, then approve, or
- Reject it.
Every approved change is recorded and reversible — you can revert any of it later. This is the self-learning loop, with you holding the steering wheel.
The Agents screen
The Agents screen is where identity lives. From here you:
- Edit the Profile directly (the identity you declared at setup).
- Review and resolve the persona proposals your assistant has made.
- Revert any change it learned that you’ve changed your mind about.
