Knowledge and skills

#Knowledge and skills in short

Rekhu does not start from zero in a chat. Before every answer it reads two kinds of text that you control:

• Knowledge says what is true: who the site is for, the tone of its texts, the components it uses, what never to change.
• Skills say how a job is done: the steps your agency takes for a landing page, a template conversion or a monthly check.

Both exist for the whole account and for one project.

Where they disagree, the project wins: the project's knowledge wins over the account's, and a project skill replaces an account skill with the same name.

#Knowledge

Keep knowledge short and true. Rekhu follows it as written. A good project knowledge for a car rental site might read:

Car rental in two towns. They only rent, they never sell cars.
Tone: friendly, short sentences, "you" not "we".
Prices are on the Rates page only; never write prices in other texts.
Never change the Booking page or anything under /checkout.

You can also tell Rekhu in the chat:

Never touch the Shop pages or the checkout. Add that to the knowledge.

Rekhu adds what it learns about the site during a job too, such as which SEO plugin the site runs or the fonts of a converted template, so the next chat starts from it.

#Scan this site and Discover

You do not have to write the first profile yourself.

1. Open the Knowledge & skills tab of the project.
2. Press Discover. The maximum it can cost is shown first; it stops there.
3. Read the result. Rekhu reads the site and changes nothing. What it finds goes into the knowledge as a section called Site profile: theme, pages, forms, plugins and what needs attention. A short report opens in a new chat.

Your own text stays as it is. Running Discover again replaces only the Site profile.

For a quick look without writing anything, use the Scan this site quick action in the chat: it tells you the pages, theme, plugins and languages.

#Skills

A skill is a named way of working, written as steps. For example:

Name: Landing page
1. Copy the closest existing landing page as a draft.
2. One H1 with the offer, three benefits, one form at the bottom.
3. Form entries go to the address in the knowledge.
4. Give the draft an SEO title and description.
5. Send me the preview link; never publish.

#Add a skill

1. Choose where it counts. Under Preferences → Skills for every project, or under Skills for this project on the project's tab.
2. Write it. Give it a name and the steps.
3. Or upload it. A Markdown file, or a .skill file (a zip with SKILL.md). The same name replaces the earlier skill.

An account keeps at most 60 skills.

#Learn from this

After a job went well, say so in the chat:

Learn from this as a skill called Landing page.

Rekhu looks back at the conversation, writes what worked as one short procedure (the steps in order, what to check, what to avoid) and saves it. It is saved for this project, or for every project when you say it holds for all your work. The answer says in one line what was saved and where it counts.

#How Rekhu uses skills

Every enabled skill is part of what Rekhu reads. On top of that, for each message Rekhu picks the skills that fit it best, at most two:

• a skill you name in the message ("use the Landing page skill"), or
• a skill whose name and opening lines share the most words with your message.

The skills that fit are put right under your message as the steps to follow for this request, ahead of general habits. The chat shows which skill it follows.

Before Rekhu answers a message in which it followed a skill and changed something, it goes through the steps of that skill once more against what it did. A step that was skipped is done then. The answer ends with one line: that the skill was followed, or which step could not be done and why.

If you ask for a skill by name and none has that name, Rekhu says so, tells you where to add it, and does the job without it.

#What Rekhu learns from decisions

On WordPress projects with SEO work, the tab also shows the Fact sheet (the facts the writer may use about the business) and Learned about this client (short facts learned from how people approve or send back topics, briefs and drafts). See Fact sheet.
