Attune skills for other agents

A skill is a Markdown file that tells an agent how to run a workflow. Attune’s skills sit on top of the Attune MCP server: the server supplies the tools, the skill supplies the sequence — what to ask, in what order, and what to do when an answer is missing.

Attune’s skills follow the Agent Plugins layout, skills/<name>/SKILL.md, so any agent that reads skills from a directory can use them. Only the Claude manifests that ship alongside them are vendor-specific.

attune-guide-builder

Section titled “attune-guide-builder”

The first Attune skill drafts a new survey or interview guide, or refines an existing one:

  1. Resolve the organization. The agent uses your only Attune organization automatically or asks which one to use when your account belongs to several.

  2. Use relevant business context. The agent reads the stored company and customer context relevant to the study. If none is stored, it gathers only what the guide needs and optionally offers to save it.

  3. Complete the research objective. It uses details already present in your request and asks up to three focused questions only when important information is missing. You can skip them and proceed with sensible defaults. If you have no objective yet, it suggests a few tailored to your company and your role.

  4. Choose length, interviewer voice, and how participants respond. The default is 10 minutes with the default interviewer; common alternatives are 3, 5, or 20 minutes, and a positive custom length is accepted. Guides offer voice or chat unless you change it. The agent suggests Chat only when participants are unlikely to be able to talk out loud, for example at work or on the go, and Voice only when you want spoken answers. It tells you that a chat response costs 1 credit.

  5. Create the guide safely. The agent avoids duplicate guides when retrying an uncertain request and returns a link to open the saved draft in the Attune studio.

  6. Refine new or existing guides. Add or improve segments and questions, reorder the flow, set the intro and conclusion, or change the voice while protecting concurrent edits.

Two behaviors are deliberate. The skill never asks for credentials or tokens: OAuth is the only auth path. And it always asks first before updating business context, because that change applies to your whole organization.

Use it with your agent

Section titled “Use it with your agent”

  1. Connect the MCP server. Follow Connect Attune to your AI assistant for your client. Without the server, the skill has no tools to call.

  2. Put the skill where your agent reads skills. Copy attune-guide-builder/SKILL.md into your agent’s skills directory, such as .cursor/skills/ or whatever path your agent documents.

  3. Ask for a study. “Help me build an interview about churn.” The agent follows the sequence above and hands back a link to the draft.

Writing your own

Section titled “Writing your own”

Nothing about the tools is Attune-specific to one agent: any MCP client can call get_business_context, create_interview_guide, and the guide-editing tools directly, and a skill is a written procedure over them. The tool catalog lists what is available and which scope each tool needs.
