Indexed Skills (49)
frontend-design
Design-quality layer for frontend code — typography, color, motion, spatial composition, and avoiding generic "AI slop" aesthetics. Use this as a companion when you are already writing or styling frontend code and want it to look distinctive and production-grade. For building an app, dashboard, tracker, calculator, visualization, landing page, or slide deck the user wants inside the assistant, load `app-builder` instead — it loads this skill itself for the design pass.
deepgram-voice
Select and tune a Deepgram TTS voice - curated voice list, full Aura voice catalog via API key, and tuning parameters
acp
Spawn external coding agents via the Agent Client Protocol (ACP)
app-builder
Build and edit small, personal visual tools and artifacts — dashboards, trackers, calculators, data visualizations, charts, simple landing pages, and slide decks the user wants for THEMSELVES. This is the right skill whenever the user asks to "visualize this," "make a chart," or "build an artifact" for their own use, or to edit an app they already built here. Do NOT reach for a ui_show dynamic_page to fake an artifact — build a real persistent app here. NOT for complex, multi-user, or shippable products — those go to a real project folder with a coding agent (see Scope below).
app-control
Drive a specific named macOS app via raw input bypassing the Accessibility tree
contacts
Manage contacts, communication channels, access control, and invite links
document-editor
Use whenever the user wants to write or draft an article, blog post, essay, report, or any long-form content. Creates the content in a rich text editor instead of dumping it in chat, so it can be streamed, reviewed, edited, and exported.
image-studio
Create images from a text description, or edit photos and graphics the user provides (remove backgrounds or watermarks, retouch, restyle, in-paint). Can produce multiple variants when the user wants options to choose from.
media-processing
Ingest and process media files (video, audio, image)
messaging
Read, search, send, and manage messages across Gmail, Outlook, Telegram, and other platforms
phone-calls
Make outgoing phone calls, receive incoming calls, and pull up past call transcripts
schedule
Recurring and one-shot scheduling - cron, RRULE, or single fire-at time
subagent
Spawn and manage autonomous background agents for parallel work
system-storage-cleanup
Handle disk pressure, critically low storage, safe storage limits, and storage cleanup mode by inspecting disk usage and proposing safe cleanup steps.
workflows
Delegate a big or high-stakes job to a fleet of parallel subagents, orchestrated deterministically; runs unattended and reports back
amazon
Shop on Amazon and Amazon Fresh through your browser
assistant-migration
Migrate from ChatGPT, Claude, OpenClaw, Hermes, Manus, and other AI assistants into Vellum by inspecting their data exports, conversation archives, files, prompts, custom instructions, memory, saved memories, tools, GPTs, workflows, integrations, and relationships, then mapping as much as safely possible into Vellum primitives. Handles single-source and multi-source migrations with a unified, deduplicated inventory.
chat-complex-documents
Chat with and search your complex documents — ask questions, extract tables and fields, and get answers grounded in the source. Connects the hosted Unstructured Transform MCP server to parse, structure, and enrich PDFs, Word/Excel/PowerPoint, images, scanned files, emails, and 60+ other formats into clean, AI-ready text for search, Q&A, and summarization without building a custom parsing pipeline.
cli-discover
Discover which CLI tools are installed, their versions, and authentication status
conversation-launcher
Offer the user several spin-off conversations as clickable buttons on a single persistent card. Each click spawns a fresh seeded conversation in the sidebar; the user keeps their place in the current conversation. Use when you want to branch into N focused threads (research directions, draft choices, pending replies, triage of N items) without losing the current context. Not for single-destination pivots — just reply inline.
daily-briefing
Proactive daily briefing that fires on a recurring schedule, pulls recent memory and workspace context, composes a structured summary (action items, progress, radar, next steps), and delivers it to all active channels. Enable with a time like "set up my daily briefing at 9am". Disable, reschedule, or check status at any time.
deploy-fullstack-vercel
Build and deploy a full-stack app (React frontend + Python/FastAPI backend) or a Vellum app to Vercel as a serverless demo with seeded data
discord-app-setup
Connect a Discord bot to the assistant via the Discord Gateway with guided application creation and intent configuration
doordash
Order food, groceries, and convenience items from DoorDash using the built-in CLI integration
elevenlabs-voice
Select and tune an ElevenLabs TTS voice - curated voice list, custom/cloned voices via API key, and tuning parameters
email-setup
Set up this assistant's own `[name].vellum.me` domain and email address (one-time setup)
fish-audio
Generate expressive audio clips using Fish Audio S2 TTS with bracket emotion tags. Record voice memos, narration, audio messages, or any spoken content.
geo-audit
Runs a one-command technical GEO audit on any domain. Checks AI crawler access, llms.txt presence, server-side rendering, sitemap, and schema markup. Streams results live and ends with a 0–100 score plus the top 3 prioritized fixes. Built to be both genuinely useful and great to demo on camera.
geo-writing
Generates GEO/AEO-optimized articles designed to get AI engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini) to cite your brand. Handles research, writing, and file output. Suggests listicle or head-to-head as starting formats if the user is unsure.
gmail-trigger
Beta. Act on new Gmail as it arrives: get pinged only for urgent mail, digest newsletters, forward invoices — any standing instruction, across one or several accounts.
sequences
Create and manage automated email drip sequences
api-mapping
Record and analyze API surfaces of web services
followups
Track sent messages awaiting responses across communication channels
playbooks
Trigger-action automation rules for handling incoming messages
transcribe
Transcribe audio and video files using the configured speech-to-text provider
chatgpt-import
Import conversation history from ChatGPT into Vellum
cli-testing
Manually test a running Vellum assistant end-to-end purely from the CLI — no desktop app or web UI. Hatch an instance, send messages, watch the reply, and tear it down. Use when verifying assistant behavior, reproducing a bug, or smoke-testing a change without the macOS/web clients.
release
Cut a new release: create the release branch (staging bake), then dispatch the production Release run on that branch.
update
Restart the Vellum assistant and gateway services. Smart branch handling: pulls from main by default, restarts in-place on feature branches, or switches to a specified branch. Pass --pull to force-pull on the current branch.
vellum-change-review
Review Vellum Assistant code changes for correctness, repo-specific quality rules, security risks, and missing validation. Use when reviewing diffs, preparing a PR, finishing implementation work, or when the user asks for a code review, quality pass, or pre-merge check in this repository.
vellum-migration-checklist
Validate Vellum Assistant database and workspace migrations. Use when adding, editing, reviewing, or testing migrations, release-note migrations, persisted schemas, workspace file formats, or data backfills.
vellum-test-selection
Select focused verification commands for Vellum Assistant changes. Use when deciding what tests, typechecks, lints, or smoke checks to run after editing this repository, especially before commits and pull requests.
e2e
Run end-to-end tests via the CI workflow.
vellum-boundary-guard
Check Vellum Assistant architecture and package boundaries. Use when editing imports, moving code, adding endpoints, touching assistant/gateway/client/skill boundaries, or reviewing architecture-sensitive changes.
vellum-feature-flag-rollout
Guide Vellum Assistant feature flag changes and rollout hygiene. Use when adding, editing, reviewing, or documenting assistant feature flags, rollout-gated behavior, or platform flag follow-up work.
vellum-pr-readiness
Prepare Vellum Assistant branches for review by checking git hygiene, PR scope, tests, docs, migrations, Linear linking, and companion repo needs. Use before creating a pull request, splitting work into PRs, or asking whether a branch is ready.
vellum-skill-authoring
Author and review first-party Vellum skills in the repository. Use when editing files under skills/, assistant bundled skills, skill manifests, tool definitions, SKILL.md files, or first-party skill portability and isolation behavior.
vellum-user-facing-copy
Review Vellum Assistant user-facing copy, examples, docs, CLI output, UI strings, and assistant-facing release notes. Use when editing text users may read, including README files, SKILL.md files, CLI messages, route errors, update bulletins, and client UI labels.
computer-use
