dot-skill Roadmap
From colleague.skill to dot-skill — Distill anyone into an AI Skill
We started with a simple idea: when a colleague leaves, their knowledge walks out the door. Can we keep it?
In two weeks, 13,000+ people gave us the answer.
But the community showed us this goes far beyond colleagues — you distilled professors, exes, yourselves, even fictional characters.
So we decided to evolve colleague.skill into dot-skill.
Anyone can become a .skill.

What's Next
Phase 1 — Community Building
13k stars shouldn't just be a number. We want everyone to be part of this.
What you'll see:
- GitHub Discussions — no more chatting in Issues, we'll have dedicated discussion spaces
CONTRIBUTING.md— clear contribution guide, beginner-friendlygood-first-issuelabels — starter tasks for new contributors- v1.0.0 official release — first versioned Release, no more "just pull from main"
- Public roadmap board — you're reading it now, but we'll also have a live GitHub Projects version
You can help: translate docs, submit your .skill, test on Windows, help triage Issues
Phase 2 — dot-skill: Beyond Colleagues
colleague.skill was the beginning. dot-skill is the future.
Key changes:
/create-skilluniversal entry — no longer limited to "create a colleague", distill anyone/create-colleaguefor coworkers, mentors, interns/create-exfor exes, old friends, lost connections/create-iconfor celebrities, historical figures- or... distill yourself
- Gallery category upgrade — Colleague / Celebrity / Relationship / Character / Self / Meta-Skill, browse by type
- More data sources
- WeCom (WeChat Work) support
- iMessage auto-read
- Windows compatibility fix
You can help: submit person-type requests, build new data source collectors, join Gallery design discussions
Phase 3 — Skill Ecosystem
When one person becomes a skill, can a group of people become a team?
We're exploring:
- Multi-skill collaboration —
/meeting @zhangsan @lisi @wangwu, three personas discuss a topic together - Relationship graph — define persona dynamics: who partners with whom, where the tension lies
- One-click install — install community skills like plugins
- Active evolution — skills periodically absorb new data sources, staying up to date
You can help: propose your ideal skill composition scenarios, join distribution mechanism design discussions
Phase 4 — Multimodal: Bring Them to Life
Right now, .skills can only talk. We want them to send photos, stickers, speak in their voice, and eventually make videos.
Step 1: Visual expression
- Auto-send persona-style stickers and memes in conversation
- Generate "life photos" in their style — what would they post today?
- Each skill gets its own sticker pack and image assets
Step 2: Voice
- Speak in their voice — clone from meeting recordings, voice messages
- Send voice replies directly in chat
Step 3: Video (exploratory)
- Short-form "a day in their life" generation
- Digital human / animated avatar
You can help: share multimodal use case ideas, contribute sticker assets, test voice cloning
Get Involved
| How | Where |
|---|---|
| Submit your .skill | Gallery PR |
| Discuss & propose | GitHub Discussions (coming soon) |
| Chat in real time | Discord |
| Report bugs | Issue |
| Contribute code | Look for good-first-issue labels, or just open a PR |
We especially need:
- Windows users — help us test and fix compatibility issues
- Multilingual speakers — help translate documentation
- Data source developers — build new collectors (WeCom, Notion, Google Docs...)
- Designers — the Gallery and website need your eye
This roadmap belongs to the community. Priorities shift based on your feedback.
Have ideas? Come to Discord or start a Discussion.
Every .skill is a relationship continued.
