What goes where
AGENTS.md goes with every request, so keep it short. Notes and skills are looked up only when they’re relevant, so they can hold much more.
Notes
Open the coworker and go to Knowledge → Notes. The list shows the notes saved from this coworker and your organization notes. Filter by note type, sort, or search.Who uses a note
Every note has a scope. The scope decides which coworkers use it.
Use user notes for personal preferences, such as “Maria wants summaries as bullet points.” Use organization notes for company facts that every coworker should know.
Everyone who can access a coworker can see its notes. See Sharing and access.
Add or edit a note
1
Create the note
In Knowledge → Notes, click Add note.
2
Write it
Give it a title and write the content. Changes save automatically.
3
Pick the scope
Use the selector at the top of the note to choose AI coworker note, User note or Organization note. For a user note, also pick the person it’s about.
4
Add labels and links (optional)
Add labels to group related notes. To link to another note or skill, type
@ and pick it from the list.Remember that our fiscal year starts on February 1.You’ll see a step like “Created note: Fiscal year” in the conversation. When the coworker reads a note while working, you’ll see “Read note: …”.
History, locking and deleting
Open a note and use its … menu:- View history shows earlier versions of the note, each labelled with who made the change, such as Manual edit, Agent edit or Memory Curator. Vybe keeps the last 50 versions. Pick one to restore it.
- Lock freezes the note so the coworker can’t change it (“Locked: the agent cannot edit this note”). Lock notes you curate by hand. To edit a locked note yourself, Unlock it first.
- Delete removes the note. It isn’t offered for locked notes (unlock first) or for system notes.
System notes
Some notes are managed by Vybe. AGENTS.md is one of them, and it always appears in Notes. See Instructions. Other system notes are hidden. Turn on Show system notes (N) to see them. You can’t delete system notes.Skills
A skill is a reusable procedure: how to do one specific task, step by step. Notes say what’s true; skills say how to do something. Each skill has a description that says when to use it. Coworkers read the descriptions and load a skill when a task matches. You’ll see “Loaded skill: name” in the conversation. When it ends with (automatic), Vybe loaded the skill for that message before the coworker replied.Add a skill
1
Create the skill
Go to Knowledge → Skills and click Add skill.
2
Name and describe it
Give it a clear title and a description. The description is required (“Description cannot be empty for skills”). Write it as a trigger, for example “Use when someone asks for the weekly pipeline report.”
3
Write the steps
List the steps the coworker should follow, the sources it should use, and what the result should look like.
4
Pick the scope
Use the selector at the top of the skill to choose Agent skill (“Skill that name should use”), User skill (“Skill for your agents when helping you or one of your teammates”) or Organization skill (“Skill that should be shared across your agents”).
Let coworkers write skills
Coworkers can save a procedure as a skill on their own, or when you ask:That worked well. Save how you built this report as a skill so you can do it again next week.Coworkers can create and update skills, but they can’t delete them. Coworkers also have built-in skills from Vybe. These don’t appear in your Skills list, but you may see them in “Loaded skill” steps.
Files
Knowledge → Files is the coworker’s own file storage. It’s the same storage the coworker uses for its work, so files it creates show up here, and files you add are there for it to use.- Click Add file to upload one or more files, up to 4.1 MB each.
- Open folders to browse, click a file to preview it, and download it from the list or the preview.
How coworkers learn on their own
Automatic memory
Curate memory automatically is on by default. After each conversation, it “saves lasting knowledge and removes outdated facts.” Turn it off in Knowledge → Notes to pause automatic learning, including learning from Slack. Notes you add yourself, and notes the coworker saves when you ask, still work.Learning from Slack
Coworkers in Slack also learn from public channels they belong to, without being mentioned. This includes thread replies. Vybe reviews a thread once it has gone quiet for a few minutes. It saves only lasting knowledge, picks which coworkers in the channel should learn from it based on their roles, and decides whether a fact belongs in a coworker’s own notes or in organization notes. Slack memory never uses:- Private channels
- Direct messages and group DMs
- Slack Connect channels
- Messages from guests, or from anyone who isn’t a full member of your Slack workspace
Under Slack memory, Owners and Admins can also set the Minimum usefulness score, from More inclusive to More selective (default 0.70). Threads that score below it are ignored. Four tabs hold the instructions Vybe follows: What to remember, Finding notes and skills, Choosing agents and Curating memory. Click Save changes to apply them, or Discard changes.
The ingestion log
To see what a coworker learned and where it came from, go to Knowledge → Notes and click View ingestion log. The Ingestion log lists “Memory changes and reviewed Slack messages, newest first.” Each entry shows:- What happened, such as Created note, Appended, Modified, Merged, Ignored or Conflict. Ignored threads and settled contradictions are listed too.
- The source: Slack, Agent conversation, Memory curator, Manual, API or Restored version.
- Whose memory changed: Agent memory, User memory or Organization memory.
- Open in Slack for entries that came from Slack, and Open activity to see the run behind the change.
The Knowledge page
Knowledge in the main sidebar is “Organization memory — notes, skills, and files in one place.” Its Notes and Skills tabs combine organization notes, user notes and the notes of every coworker you can access.- Filter by note type: All note types, AI coworker notes, Organization notes or User notes.
- Filter by coworker, or choose All AI coworkers.
- Sort, or search titles and content.
- Click a note or skill to open it.
Tips
- One topic per note. Short, focused notes are easier for coworkers to find and keep up to date.
- Write skill descriptions as triggers. “Use when…” tells the coworker exactly when the skill applies.
- Share company facts once. Make them organization notes so every coworker benefits.
- Lock what you curate. Lock notes you maintain by hand so automatic memory doesn’t rewrite them.
- Fix wrong memories at the source. If a coworker keeps repeating something wrong, check the ingestion log, then edit or delete the note.
- Keep secrets out. Don’t store passwords or API keys in notes or files. Connect the tool instead.
