Use the Pipeline Agent with your assistant
The same Included files run on any assistant that reads plain text. Pick yours for the step-by-step setup - where the files go, what a run looks like, and the honest limits:
- Microsoft Copilot - With Microsoft 365 Copilot, create a Notebook, add skill.md as a reference and the setup prompt as the custom instructions, then run the setup and approve the sample-data test. With consumer Copilot, upload skill.md at the start of each session instead.
- Hermes - Give Hermes the Included files in its workspace: skill.md becomes the standing skill, then run the setup prompt and approve the fictional-data test. Because Hermes is open-source and local-first, your prompts and outputs stay under your control.
- Instinct - Give Instinct the public skill.md, setup-prompt.txt and usage-prompt.txt. Confirm scope, source access, destination and reviewer, then run a fictional-data test. Files alone do not activate a recurring workflow; any supported schedule needs separate scope and time approval.
- OpenClaw - Drop the Included files into your OpenClaw workspace and point it at skill.md, then run the setup prompt over your usual chat channel. OpenClaw keeps its workspace persistent, so the agent's rules survive between asks, and its approval style matches the agents' stop-at-human-gates design.
- Muse - Give Muse the Included files and ask it to keep skill.md as the standing rules for the job, then run the setup prompt and approve the fictional-data test before pointing it at real work. As with any action-taking agent, keep its approvals on.
- Perplexity - Create a Space for the job, upload the Included files, and paste the setup prompt into the Space instructions. Run the setup, approve the sample-data test, and start each run in that Space. Save the agent's output where your work lives (Sheets, Docs).
- ChatGPT - Create a Project for the job, upload skill.md as a Project file and paste the setup prompt into the Project instructions. Run the setup once, approve the sample-data test, then start each run inside that Project so the rules stay loaded.
- ChatGPT Dots - Create your dot on an eligible desktop account. Give it the included files as readable reference instructions, run the setup prompt and review the fictional-data output. Check plugin permissions separately; local skills require a connected computer. Approve the exact action before sending, spending or changing records.
- Claude - Create a Project for the job and add skill.md as Project knowledge with the setup prompt as instructions. Run the setup conversation, check the sample-data output, then start each run in that Project so the rules stay loaded. Artifacts Claude produces can be saved out to your Drive.
- DeepSeek - Upload skill.md at the start of a chat, paste the setup prompt, and approve the sample-data test. Keep the Included files in a folder you can reach: each new chat starts fresh, so you re-attach skill.md and re-paste the usage prompt per run.
- Town - Share the Included files with Town and ask it to keep skill.md as the standing rules for the job, then run the setup prompt and approve the fictional-data test. Town's email and calendar focus pairs well with agents whose output is a draft, a schedule or a follow-up queue.
- Grok - Attach the Included files to a chat or build a Grok Skill/Bot with skill.md as the standing expertise, then run the setup prompt and approve the fictional-data test. Skills keep the rules persistent between asks.
- Gemini - Create a Gem whose instructions are the skill.md contents plus the setup prompt, then run the setup. Gems keep their instructions between sessions, so the agent's rules persist. For Sheets work, Gemini's Workspace integration makes it the natural home for these agents.
