The Forge
The built-in catalogue is big, but your life is specific. The Forge is where community-built custom AI skills live: abilities created by other Carae users, reviewed for safety, free to install.
Browsing community skills
Community skills live in the Community Skills tab of the Skills page. Each one has its own detail page showing exactly what it does and how it works, and that page is where you install it, so you can always read before you run. In chat, Carae will point you to the detail page rather than installing a community skill blind. That is deliberate.
Safety first
Every submitted skill passes a two-stage review before anyone can install it: two independent AI reviewers check it, and anything unclear goes to a human queue. After publication, every skill has a report button, and repeated reports suspend a skill automatically while it is re-checked.
Building your own (Pro)
On the Pro plan you can build skills yourself, no coding required, in a three step wizard:
- Describe it: tell the Forge what the skill should do and AI drafts the whole thing.
- Edit: refine the wording and behaviour until it feels right.
- Submit: it goes through the same safety review as everything else.
Your display name appears publicly on skills you publish. Build the niche thing you always wanted: a skill that tracks your book club, formats your D&D session notes, or nags you about your sourdough starter.
Why bother
Because the best assistant features are the ones nobody else needed. One user's oddly specific skill is another user's "finally, exactly this."
