V0: Slash Commands for Attaching Skills
V0 added a slash-command menu to its composer — typing / now opens a live-filtering list of skills that can be attached without leaving the keyboard, including results pulled from the remote skills.sh directory. Attached skills appear as inline chips alongside file attachments, with the same draft persistence, undo/redo, and drag-to-reorder support. The change makes V0's growing skills ecosystem far faster to use for anyone already relying on prompt attachments.
Key Takeaways
- Typing
/in V0's composer now opens a live-filtering skill menu, removing the need to leave the keyboard to attach a skill. - The menu searches skills.sh directly, surfacing community-published skills alongside locally available ones.
- Attached skills render as inline chips, matching the visual treatment already used for file attachments.
- Skill chips inherit draft persistence, undo/redo, and drag-to-reorder, bringing skills to full parity with file attachments.
- The update builds on V0's broader skills ecosystem push, following the earlier introduction of skills.sh as an open agent-skills directory.
- Community-built skill packages, like the
ragingwind/v0-skillsrepo, benefit directly, since they become easier to discover and attach in a live chat.

Skills Get a Keyboard-First Shortcut
V0 introduced slash commands in its chat composer, giving users a fast, keyboard-driven way to attach a skill to a prompt. Typing / opens a menu that live-filters as more characters are typed, surfacing both locally available skills and results from skills.sh, Vercel's open agent-skills directory, so a relevant skill can be found and attached without ever touching the mouse or leaving the input field.
Skills as First-Class Attachments
Once attached, a skill now shows up as an inline chip in the composer — visually and functionally consistent with how file attachments already behave. That means skill chips carry over the same conveniences: they persist across draft saves, can be undone or redone, and can be reordered by dragging. This brings skills to parity with V0's existing attachment system rather than treating them as a separate, secondary mechanism.
Why It Matters
V0 has been steadily building out its skills ecosystem — the underlying skills.sh directory lets developers publish and share reusable, structured instructions that agents can invoke as part of a workflow. Until now, attaching one of these skills to a V0 chat required more manual navigation. The slash-command shortcut removes that friction, making skills something a user can reach for mid-prompt the same way they'd attach a file or reference a previous message. For anyone who has already built or adopted custom skills, this significantly speeds up the day-to-day workflow of assembling a prompt.
