Built-in specialist agents, your own agents with their own instructions and tools, automatic routing, and skills imported from SKILL.md or prompt files. [Editions](https://royalsoftworks.com/products/assistant-general/editions/): Pro, Enterprise and Government. ## Agents and skills, feature by feature Each comes with a small drawing of how it works. They are diagrams, not screenshots; numbers in them are examples. - ### Built-in specialists Among them Web Research, Legal Analysis, Judicial Analysis, HR Policy, Programming, Cooking and Recipes, and Mechanical Diagnostics. Diagram: Web Research, Legal Analysis, Judicial Analysis, HR Policy, Programming, Cooking, Mechanics. - ### Your own agents Give an agent a name, its own instructions, the tools it may and may not use, the connectors it may reach and the skills it carries. Diagram: Instructions and Tools it may use and Skills come together as Your agent. - ### The right specialist, picked for you When a question calls for a specialist, it goes to one. To save time, the choice is only weighed when the question hints at a specialist, or when you have agents of your own. Diagram: A legal question goes to Legal Analysis, not Programming or General. - ### Skills, loaded when needed A skill's instructions are read only when the task needs them, so they do not crowd every conversation. Diagram: Task → Needs a skill? → Load its instructions. - ### Import skills you already have Skill folders or zips with a SKILL.md file, the format Claude uses, and single prompt files, the format Codex uses. Diagram: A SKILL.md folder and Prompt .md file come together as A skill. - ### The assistant's own instructions Edit the system prompt it works from. On a managed desk an administrator can lock it. Diagram: Edit the prompt, then “Locked by admin?”: yes, Kept as is; no, Saved. - ### Agents as helpers Mark an agent as a helper role and the main assistant can hand it work. Diagram: Your agent → Helper role → Gets work. ## Goes well with - [Helpers (subagents)](https://royalsoftworks.com/products/assistant-general/features/helpers/) - [Workspaces and practice packs](https://royalsoftworks.com/products/assistant-general/features/workspaces-and-packs/) - [Built-in tools](https://royalsoftworks.com/products/assistant-general/features/built-in-tools/) [Previous Helpers (subagents)](https://royalsoftworks.com/products/assistant-general/features/helpers/) [Next Document search](https://royalsoftworks.com/products/assistant-general/features/document-search/) [All 31 feature classes](https://royalsoftworks.com/products/assistant-general/features/)
