Custom Skills

Custom Skills are custom research procedures and processing logic you can add to the Snorbe agent. Define frequently used research workflows or specific output formats as skills, and call them from chat to execute automatically. In short, it lets you program your own research templates and reuse them whenever needed.

Invoke Skills

Call defined skills from chat and execute them. The agent will automatically follow the specified procedure.

Official Skills

Browse and use official skills provided by Snorbe. Use them as templates for common research use cases.

Skill Management

List, edit, and delete the skills you’ve created. Share skills within your team to standardize research workflows.

JPO (Japan Patent Office)

Search Japanese patents and utility models. Ideal for prior-art review in Japan.

EPO OPS (European Patent Office)

Retrieve bibliographic information on European and international patents.

Data Analysis and Visualization

Analyze CSV and other data and generate charts — automating the visualization work for your reports.
Visual artifacts — HTML, SVG, and images generated by skills — are automatically rendered as PNG previews in the chat. Generated files are available for download.

Per-skill model override

Add a model field to the SKILL.md frontmatter to override the model used when that specific skill runs. This lets you pin a high-precision model like Claude Opus 4.7 to a specialized skill that needs it.
