Leveraging pre-built and custom skills in Stelis

Skills in Stelis are pre-built or custom automation workflows that can be easily reused across different tasks. They encapsulate common operations and can significantly speed up your automation processes.

Pre-built Skills

Stelis offers a variety of pre-built skills for common tasks:

• Form Filling: Automatically fill out web forms with provided data
• Data Extraction: Extract structured data from web pages
• Screenshot Capture: Take screenshots of specified elements or entire pages
• Navigation: Complex navigation patterns across multiple pages
• Authentication: Handle login processes for various platforms

To use a pre-built skill:

const result = await stelis.useSkill('formFilling', {
  url: 'https://example.com/form',
  data: {
    name: 'John Doe',
    email: '[e-mail]',
    // ... other form fields
  }
});

Custom Skills

You can create custom skills to encapsulate your own frequently used workflows:

1. Define your skill in a JavaScript file:

// myCustomSkill.js
module.exports = async function(stelis, params) {
  // Your custom automation logic here
  const result = await stelis.browse({
    prompt: params.prompt,
    url: params.url
  });
  
  // Process the result as needed
  return processedResult;
};

2. Register your skill with Stelis:

stelis.registerSkill('myCustomSkill', require('./myCustomSkill.js'));

3. Use your custom skill:

const result = await stelis.useSkill('myCustomSkill', {
  prompt: 'Perform my custom task',
  url: 'https://example.com'
});

Best Practices

• Use skills to standardize common operations across your organization
• Regularly update custom skills to incorporate new features and improvements
• Document your custom skills thoroughly for easier maintenance and collaboration
