Layers & Skills

Two lookup tables you will keep coming back to. Both are matched case-insensitively, and both come from the assistant itself, not from a hand-kept list that might have drifted.

Usable vs readable

Every skill can be read with the skill expression and locked with setskill. Only some can be invoked with the skill command. Those are the ones with a button in the skills window, marked “usable” above.

Asking for an unusable one is not an error; the command warns and lists what is available, so skill 'blacksmithy' tells you rather than silently doing nothing.
