Creating a Workflow (Skill)

In Moltin, a workflow is a Skill. You create and edit skills from an agent's Editor.

Create a skill

Click Add Skill

In the Editor, click the orange Add Skill button. The Add Skill dialog opens.

Give it a name

Enter a Name (required). For example, Find Candidate Details.

Add instructions

Enter Instructions (required) describing what the skill should do. Be specific about inputs and the action the skill performs.

(Optional) choose an icon

Click Choose Icon to pick an emoji or icon for the skill.

Create

Click Create Skill. On success the dialog closes and you'll see a confirmation that the skill was created.

Important behaviors

The name is converted to a slug

On save, the skill name is slugified: My Skill 123 becomes my_skill_123 (lowercase, spaces become underscores). Keep this in mind when you look for the skill afterward.

Newly created skills aren't auto-selected

After creating a skill, the canvas may still show "No skill chosen." Click the skill in the Skills list to open it before adding tasks.

Validation & cancelling

  • Clicking Create Skill with an empty Name or Instructions keeps the dialog open and flags the missing field.
  • Click Cancel to close the dialog without creating a skill.

Choosing an icon

The Choose Icon picker has two tabs — Emojis and Icons — with a filter box and a shuffle (random) control.

Once your skill exists, move on to Adding Tasks.
