Customize Agent Skill

Create a Wisp specialist or author a project-local skill using the tools Wisp actually exposes. Use when the user wants a custom Agent persona, a restricted specialist loadout, a new skill, or changes to an existing project-local skill.

Customize Wisp

Wisp exposes customization through explicit tools and Settings UI. Python has

no control-plane SDK. Never invent profile, connector, or skill CRUD methods.

Create a specialist

Use save_specialist only when it is advertised in the current session. It is

create-only.

  • Ask what single job the specialist owns and what it must not do.
  • Draft a display name, one-line description, and concise instructions that

extend Wisp's base prompt.

  • Decide whether to inherit project skills/connectors or use explicit

whitelists. Use exact installed skill names returned by search_skills.

Include connector names only when the user supplied or confirmed them.

  • Show the complete proposal and obtain confirmation before creating it.
  • Call save_specialist with name and instructions; add description,

model_id, skills, or connectors only when intentionally chosen.

  • Report the returned specialist id. Direct the user to

Settings → Specialists for edits, deletion, icons, or later loadout

changes; no Agent tool performs those mutations.

Omit skills and connectors to inherit project settings. An empty list is an

explicit zero-access whitelist and is not equivalent to omission.

Author or update a skill

Load skill-creator. For a project-local skill, edit files under:

.wisp/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md

Use read, write, and edit. search_skills and use_skill are discovery

and loading tools, not mutation tools. If a newly created project skill is not

visible immediately, refresh or reopen the project so Wisp rebuilds its skill

index.

For a user-wide skill, create the folder in the project first, validate it, then

ask the user to install that folder through Settings → Skills. Wisp copies

installed skills to its user skill directory; there is no Agent-side publish or

delete interface.

Boundaries

  • Do not modify Wisp's SQLite store directly.
  • Do not use python, shell, or run_in_context to bypass Settings or tool

authorization.

  • Do not promise conversation identity switching; the user selects specialists

through Wisp's UI.

  • Do not claim connector enumeration when no connector-management tool is

advertised.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take xuzhougeng/customize from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
