Core Skills Reference

Fliiq ships with 54 core skills organized by category. All are available out of the box — no configuration needed for file, search, system, web, memory, and knowledge skills. Communication and audio skills require credentials in .env. Some skills require optional dependencies.

File Operations

Skill	Description
`read_file`	Read the contents of a file at a given path
`write_file`	Write content to a file (creates or overwrites)
`edit_file`	Make targeted edits to a file using search-and-replace
`list_directory`	List files and directories at a given path

Search

`grep`	Search file contents using regex patterns
`find`	Find files by name, extension, or pattern

System

Skill	Description	Credentials
`shell`	Execute shell commands	None
`deps`	Detect package manager and install dependencies (pip, npm, poetry, cargo)	None
`dev_server`	Start, stop, and manage development servers	None

Web

Skill	Description	Credentials
`web_search`	Search the web via Brave Search API (with exponential backoff retry for rate limits)	`BRAVE_API_KEY`
`web_fetch`	Fetch and convert web pages to markdown	None
`web_navigate`	Browser automation — navigate sites, extract info, fill forms, interact with pages	`pip install "fliiq[browser]"`
`summarize`	Extract and clean content from URLs, local files, or raw text for analysis	None
`fetch_arxiv`	Search arXiv by keyword or retrieve a specific paper by ID; returns metadata, abstracts, and optionally downloads PDFs	None
`read_pdf`	Extract text and metadata from PDF files — local paths or remote URLs; returns page-by-page text and full-text concatenation	None

The web_navigate skill is powered by browser-use. It runs headless by default — use --show-browser to watch the browser work. Includes a safety checkpoint that pauses for user confirmation before irreversible actions (form submissions, payments, account creation). The fetch_arxiv skill supports keyword search (returns ranked results with titles, authors, and abstracts) and direct paper lookup by arXiv ID (e.g. 2301.07041). No credentials required. The read_pdf skill accepts local file paths or public URLs. It returns per-page text, page count, and a full-text concatenation. No credentials required.

Memory

`memory_read`	Read a specific memory file
`memory_write`	Write or update a memory file

Knowledge

Skill	Description

`knowledge_query`	Search the knowledge base by keyword, domain, file anchor, or tags; results ranked by relevance and confidence
`knowledge_update`	Update or expire an existing knowledge record by ID

Knowledge records are stored locally in .fliiq/knowledge/. Supports four record types: decision (what was chosen and why), constraint (rules that must be respected), heuristic (learned best practices), and domain_rule (business or regulatory rules). Records can be anchored to specific code files and line ranges — Fliiq computes a content hash and flags records when the anchored code drifts.

Colony — Multi-Agent Mode

Colony is not a skill but a built-in multi-agent system. Give Fliiq a mission and five specialized agents collaborate on a shared codebase to deliver results:

Agent	Role
Intelligence	Analyzes the codebase and generates improvement proposals
Research	Gathers external context (arXiv, web) relevant to the mission
Scout	Monitors the environment and surfaces blockers
QA	Reviews proposals and runs tests
Governance	Approves, rejects, and commits accepted proposals

fliiq colony start --mission "add rate limiting to the API"
fliiq colony start --mission "..." --dry-run   # 15-min test run
fliiq colony status                            # Check progress
fliiq colony report                            # Text report
fliiq colony report --html                     # HTML report
fliiq colony stop                              # Stop early

Colony requires a local .fliiq/ directory (fliiq init --project). Directed mode runs for up to 1 hour and generates a full session report on completion.
