Overview

Skills are reusable instructions and workflows that teach Parley how your firm wants recurring work performed. A Skill can hold drafting standards, procedural steps, templates, examples, and reference materials, so Parley repeats a firm-approved process instead of starting from generic instructions each time.

​

Two ways to use a Skill

On demand. Open a Project and select the Skill from Run Skill. This suits defined workflows: preparing a case strategy snapshot, completing forms, or assembling an exhibit packet. On-demand Skills are used like a saved prompt. Automatically. Describe the task in chat and Parley recognizes when a Skill applies, then follows its instructions without being asked. Asking for a draft support letter can pull in your firm’s Skill for that document. Automatic Skills are used like a firm playbook.

​

Creating and revising a Skill

Ask the Agent conversationally:

“Create a reusable Skill for drafting our responses to agency information requests.” “Turn this checklist and sample brief into a Skill.” “Update our email Skill to include this new template.”

Parley structures the instructions and reference materials for your review. Upload a sample and it reads the structure, the tone, and the conventions out of the document rather than making you describe them. Skills live under Knowledge → Skills.

Skills worth building first

​

Firm information

Attorney details, bar numbers, office addresses, letterhead, and signatories, reused across every form and cover letter. This is the one to build first.

​

One per matter type

How your firm builds each recurring matter type. The structure and formatting, the argument order, the evidence each section needs.

​

Drafting samples

Upload samples of the letters and briefs your firm sends. A Skill can hold multiple folders and subfolders, and Parley searches across them to select the best sample for the situation in front of it.

​

Document naming

Instructions for how evidence should be named and organized. Parley can rename documents and reorganize them into folders and subfolders to match.

​

Organization and personal Skills

Skills can be maintained at the organization level for firm-wide use, or at the personal level for one person’s workflow. Every team member can build their own personal Skills. An Admin can review a Member’s personal Skill and publish it to the whole organization, which is how the team can share best practices with one another. This review step keeps the firm-wide library curated rather than filling up with everyone’s individual prompts and samples. See Permissions.
