Customize AI Assistant with skills

Ultima actualizare la 9 nov. 2026

Learn how to create custom skills for workflows you repeat in Premiere AI Assistant.

A custom skill is a saved set of instructions that AI Assistant follows for a task. Use skills to capture your bin structure, naming conventions, or preparation steps so you don't have to explain them in every conversation.

What's in a custom skill?

A skill is a Markdown file named SKILL.md, saved inside a folder with the same name as the skill. The file starts with YAML frontmatter: a short section between two --- lines containing a name and a description. The rest of the file contains the instructions in plain language.

Name: A short name, such as interview-prep. Use lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens. The folder name must exactly match the name in the frontmatter.
Description: What the skill does and when the assistant should use it.
Instructions: The steps to follow, the conventions to use, and what the result should look like.

Create a custom skill

Select the icon in the upper-right corner of the AI Assistant panel, then select Skills.

Select the Open Skills folder to open the Skills folder.

By default, the Skills folder is located at Documents/Adobe/Common/Assets/Assistant Skills/Premiere. Its location may vary depending on your scratchpad settings.

Create a folder for the skill, such as interview-prep.

Inside that folder, create a plain-text Markdown file named SKILL.md.

Add the required frontmatter at the very beginning of the file, followed by your instructions. For example:

---

name: interview-prep

description: Sets up bins for an interview project. Use when asked to run preparing interview footage for editing.

---

# Interview prep

Set up the project's bins for an interview edit.

## Steps

1. Review the existing bins in the Project panel.

2. Create any missing bins named Interviews, B-roll, Audio, and Graphics.

3. Keep existing bins and clip names unchanged.

4. Summarize which bins you created and which were already present.

The example skill's folder is named interview-prep, its frontmatter says name: interview-prep, and the file inside it is named SKILL.md. Each skill needs its own folder. The skill will show up in the Skills panel when it is recognized by the AI Assistant. If the assistant can't find the skill, check the file name, the required frontmatter, and that the folder name matches the skill's name.

Use a skill

Open the AI Assistant panel and ask the assistant to run the skill by using a /, such as "/interview-prep.", or use the UI in the prompt bar to add a skill. The AI Assistant will also use relevant skills during a conversation.

Tips for writing skills

Keep each skill focused: Give it one repeatable task, such as preparing interview bins or applying a naming convention.
Describe your conventions: Include the bin names, labels, or naming patterns you want the assistant to use.
Include an example: A sample clip name or short report makes the expected result easier to follow.
Keep it concise: Use clear steps and include only what the assistant needs to complete the task.

To share a skill, copy its folder, including SKILL.md. Anyone using it should review the instructions before adding it to their Assistant Skills folder.
