Skill Chaining

Create complex workflows by chaining skills:

1. Start with a base skill (e.g., "Navigate to Page")
2. Chain to a data extraction skill
3. Chain to a form filling skill
4. Export the entire chain as a new composite skill

Custom Skill Development

For advanced users, you can create custom skills directly:

1. Define skill capabilities and tools
2. Write clear instructions for the AI
3. Test the skill in AIPex
4. Export when ready
