Skills are fully functional and ready to use. Since built-in skills are indicative, feel free
to tune them as needed while we continuously roll out new built-in skills, configuration options,
and quality improvements.
MIRA ships with five built-in Skills covering the most common professional domains. Each Skill configures the reasoning engine with domain-specific instructions, a tuned temperature, and iteration limits appropriate for that domain’s requirements.
What a Skill does When a Skill is active in a session, the reasoning engine:
Receives the Skill’s instruction set as part of its system context
Applies the Skill’s model overrides (temperature, max iterations, max tokens)
Operates within the Skill’s MCP tool allowlist
Maintains the Skill’s persona for the full session duration

Applying a built-in skill
Click New Chat (⌘N)
In the Skill Picker, click the skill you want
The skill badge appears in the session header
Start your query — the engine operates with the skill’s persona immediately
You can also apply a skill mid-session: click the skill badge in the session header → Change Skill → select a new skill.
Creating Custom Skills Build your own domain-specific reasoning persona
Skill Scope Apply a skill to one session or all new sessions automatically
