Skillsail can be used directly from an AI assistant — Claude, Cursor, or another MCP-compatible tool. Once you connect Skillsail to your assistant, you can ask it to create modules, add slides, generate images, translate content, publish a module, and export it for your LMS, all from the assistant’s chat. This is useful when you want to:
  • Build a module while you are already chatting with your assistant about the topic.
  • Keep editing a Skillsail module without switching tabs.
  • Have the assistant handle bulk tasks like translating into several languages or rewriting a series of slides at once.

How it works

When you connect an AI assistant to Skillsail, you can ask it to work with your Skillsail content — for example create a module, add a slide, translate into German, publish as a template, or export as SCORM. You ask in plain language; the assistant handles the matching Skillsail step for you. The assistant only sees content in your Skillsail workspace, scoped to the account you sign in with. It cannot see other people’s modules.

​
What you can ask the assistant to do

  • Create a module from a description — “Build a 5-slide onboarding course for new hires with a 3-question quiz at the end.”
  • Add or change a single piece — “Add a slide on fire extinguisher classes after slide 3.” / “Rewrite slide 2 to be more concise.”
  • Generate or replace media — “Add an image of an evacuation route to the first slide.” / “Tighten the contrast on the image in slide 4.”
  • Translate — “Add German and Spanish to this module.”
  • Publish and share — “Make this module a template.” / “Add the passphrase ‘team-2026’.”
  • Export to your LMS — “Export this module as a SCORM 2004 package.”
  • Roll back — “Show me the previous versions of this module and restore the one from this morning.”

​
Safety

  • The assistant always acts as you. Whatever you can do in the Skillsail UI, it can do — and nothing more.
  • Through this connection, the assistant only works inside Skillsail. It cannot browse the web or change anything outside your Skillsail workspace.
  • Some changes, such as deleting a module, restoring an older version, or removing a passphrase, take effect immediately. Most assistants will summarize the change before making it; if yours does not, ask it to confirm first.

​
Good practices

  • Be specific about which module you mean. “The onboarding module I created yesterday” or pasting the module’s link both work well.
  • Ask for a summary before bulk changes (“Show me a plan first, don’t apply yet”).
  • Review the result. The assistant will report what it did; open Skillsail and skim the changes for anything that needs a human touch.
