Hey,
This update is mostly about finding the right skill faster. There's a new AI Mode that understands free-text questions, and the Try Skill chat now runs a lot faster. Three new skills were added too, and at the end there's a short note on why it's worth following the skills that matter to you.
AI Mode: search in plain language
Just like searching on Google: instead of searching by keywords, you simply describe what you need in plain language, like "I'm moving abroad for work, what do I need to sort out with Bituach Leumi". AI Mode reads the question, understands the intent, and shows skill, MCP, and bundle cards that actually fit. There's a small button next to the search box on the homepage that takes you to the chat.
The Try Skill chat is faster
The chat that lets you try a skill before installing it got an upgrade. Answers start showing up almost instantly, they stream character by character, and there's built-in web search for up-to-date answers. Every skill is loaded into the conversation in full automatically, so the bot really knows what you asked about.
New skill: Israeli Employee Tax Refund
Many Israeli employees are owed a tax refund and don't know it. The skill reads your Form 106, spots refund triggers (job change, unemployment, maternity leave, reserve duty, donations, unused tax credits, and more), estimates the refund against the 2026 brackets, and prepares a document list plus Form 135. You can check six years back.
New skill: Israeli Live Events
A skill for finding concerts and events across the country, with all the logistics around them: parking, transit, and restaurants near the venue. Bilingual in Hebrew and Russian, with direct ticket links.
New skill: open-slide
A skill for building presentations with the open-slide framework. Covers the file structure, the design and token system, and especially handling Hebrew text with full RTL support, including Hebrew fonts and mixed Hebrew-English.
Why keeping a skill up to date matters (and how not to miss it)
A good Israeli skill is only as good as the information inside it. Tax brackets, Bituach Leumi amounts, forms, and procedures change all the time, and a skill that hasn't been updated can give an inaccurate answer. We review skills and keep them current, but so you don't miss it: click the heart on the page of a skill that matters to you. The moment it's updated you'll get a notification and can see exactly what changed. All the skills you saved live in your personal list. And if you've already installed a skill, there's a short guide that shows how to update it in your agent.
A personal note
Lately I've gotten a ton of requests for new skills, and it makes me really happy. I read every single one, and each request gets reviewed to see whether it fits the catalog. There are a lot of requests, so I won't always manage to reply to everyone, but I promise to do my best to get back to as many of you as I can. Keep them coming, that's exactly what helps me decide what's worth adding next.
Did you know?
A skill is really just a single text file, written in plain language, without a single line of code. That's why anyone can open a skill, read exactly what it does, and even write one themselves. The format is an open standard, so the same skill works unchanged with Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and Gemini CLI. The big advantage: instead of pasting the same long instructions into every chat, the agent loads the skill automatically only when it's relevant. The flip side is that a skill is only as accurate as the text inside it, which is why keeping it current isn't a luxury.
