Skills
What Are Skills?
Section titled “What Are Skills?”Skills are multi-step workflows defined in SKILL.md files. Each skill gives Wilson domain-specific instructions for a particular financial task — tax preparation, subscription auditing, cash flow forecasting, and more.
When you invoke a skill, Wilson follows the instructions step-by-step, using its tools (transaction search, categorization, spending summary, anomaly detection, export) to produce a comprehensive result.
