Micro’s AI learns how to work better for you through two systems: Skills for common actions, and Context Docs for persistent information about you and your team.

​
Skills

Creating Custom Skills

Create your own skills in Settings → Skills:
  1. Click Create skill
  2. Enter a name (e.g., “Weekly standup prep”)
  3. Enter a command (e.g., standup-prep) — this becomes /standup-prep
  4. Write a description shown in the dropdown
  5. Write the instructions — what the AI follows when you run it
  6. Optionally pick an emoji icon
  7. Save
Custom skills appear alongside built-in ones when you type / in chat.
Write skills like instructions to a person: “Look at my calendar for today and summarize each meeting with context from past emails.”

​
@Mentions

Reference specific people, companies, and other objects in your AI chat using @mentions.

​
How to use mentions

  1. Type @ in the AI chat
  2. Start typing a name to search
  3. Select from the dropdown

​
What you can mention

TypeExample
People@Sarah Chen
Companies@Acme Corp
Documents@Q4 Planning
Tasks@Follow up with investors
Email threads@RE: Partnership proposal
Calendar events@Board meeting
Lists & views@Sales Pipeline
Automations@Weekly digest automation
When you @mention something, the AI gets full context about that object — its properties, related data, and history.

​
Context Docs

Context Docs give the AI persistent information about you, your company, and how you work. The AI references them automatically in every conversation.

​
Personal Context

Found in Settings → Personalization, personal context docs tell the AI about:
  • Your role and responsibilities
  • Your communication style and writing preferences
  • Meeting preparation preferences
You can update these manually or use the /update- skills listed above.

​
Team Context (Knowledge Base)

Found in Settings → Knowledge Base, team context docs include:
  • Company information and positioning
  • Product details
  • Team processes and workflows
  • Competitor information
These are shared across your workspace — everyone’s AI benefits from team context.

​
List Context

Each list can have its own context doc describing:
  • What the list is for
  • How records should progress through stages
  • Criteria for status changes
Click the Context button on any list to edit its context doc.

​
Tips

Be Specific

The more specific your context docs, the better the AI performs. Include examples of good outputs.

Update Regularly

Keep context docs current as your processes evolve. Use the /update- skills to make it easy.

Combine Skills with Mentions

The most powerful pattern: /prep-me for meeting with @Sarah Chen about @Series A fundraise. The AI gets the skill instructions plus full context on Sarah and your fundraise list.
