Arcana
Expertise, distilled.
Arcana is the skills system that gives Pulse specialized expertise. Each skill is a focused capability package combining system prompts, tool selections, and integration requirements into a ready-to-use specialization.
Instead of configuring tools and prompts manually, skills provide pre-built expertise bundles. Installing 'Email Manager' gives Pulse the ability to read, draft, organize, and respond to emails. Skills are additive — install as many as you need.
Beyond the curated catalog, the Custom Skills Editor lets you build your own skills with custom system prompts, tool selections, and trigger patterns. Skill prompts are loaded on-demand — only when the AI needs them — saving tokens on every request.
