34 Built-In Skills

Skills built in.
Domains covered.

A skill is a structured workflow Pulse-Agent already knows how to execute end-to-end — with the right tools, the right guardrails, and the right verification steps. Ten skills map to the three core data roles. Twenty-four more cover industry-specific work that general-purpose agents tend to fumble.

All skills run inside the Plan → Act → Verify loop with the same ten guardrails. You can disable any skill per workspace, and skills never auto-run without an explicit trigger.

Role-Based

10 skills for the core data roles

Need a skill we don't ship?

Skills are open. You can author your own as a structured tool definition with a plan template and a verifier — Pulse-Agent will run it inside the same guardrails as the built-in skills. If there's a skill you'd like us to ship in core, tell us.
