AI Skills Library
Skills are AI playbooks — focused markdown documents that teach the FrameworX AI Agent how to build specific solutions. Unlike documentation pages written for humans, skills are written for Claude and contain step-by-step MCP tool calls, JSON payloads, and verification commands.Start | Platform | Modules | Tutorials | How-to | Reference | Connectors | Skills | Cases | Resources
What Are Skills?
When you ask the AI assistant to build something in FrameworX — "set up alarms," "connect to MQTT," "add anomaly detection" — the assistant searches for a matching skill and follows its instructions. Think of skills as recipes: each one describes exactly what to create, in what order, with what settings, and what to check afterward.
Skills are different from every other type of documentation on this site:
Page Type | Written For | Purpose | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
Tutorial | Humans | Learn by doing step-by-step | "Your First FrameworX Solution" |
How-to Guide | Humans | Solve a specific problem | "How to Configure Modbus TCP" |
Reference | Humans + AI | Look up properties and syntax | "AlarmsItems Table Reference" |
Solution Example | Humans + AI | Complete working solution to study | "BottlingLine ML Demo" |
Skill | AI assistant | Step-by-step playbook the AI follows autonomously | "Alarm Pipeline — Groups, Areas, and Items" |
The key difference: you don't read skills yourself (though you can). The AI reads them, then executes the steps on your behalf using MCP tools like write_objects, list_protocols, and get_table_schema.
How it works
- You ask: "Add alarms to my solution"
- AI searches:
search_docs('alarm', labels='skill') - AI finds: Alarm Pipeline skill
- AI reads the full skill content
- AI executes each step — creating groups, areas, items
- AI verifies the result

Official Skills (by Tatsoft)
These skills ship with the product and are maintained by Tatsoft. They cover the most common automation scenarios.
Skill | What It Does | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
Build a working solution from scratch in 5 minutes | Beginner | |
Complete alarm system: groups, areas, items, verification | Intermediate | |
Sensor tags → ML model → prediction tags → alarms → dashboard | Advanced | |
Connect to MQTT broker, auto-discover topics, build asset-navigation UI | Advanced |
User & Community Skills
Integrators and end-users can create custom skills that enforce company standards, project conventions, or industry-specific patterns.
Skill | Author | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
Acme Corp Engineering | Company-specific naming, hierarchy, and unit standards |

Three Tiers — How Skills Are Discovered
The AI searches for skills in three locations, in priority order. Higher tiers override lower tiers if a skill with the same name exists in multiple places.
Tier | Source | Location | Who Creates Them |
|---|---|---|---|
1 — User | Your machine |
| You or your integrator |
2 — Cached | Downloaded from Tatsoft |
| Tatsoft (auto-updated) |
3 — Online | This documentation site | docs.tatsoft.com (pages labeled | Tatsoft |
Override rule: If you create a skill-alarm-pipeline.md in Tier 1, it replaces the official Tatsoft version. This lets you customize any skill without modifying the original.
Tier 3 works today — the AI searches this Confluence site for pages with the skill label. Tiers 1 and 2 require FrameworX 11.0+ with the local skills system enabled.
