Start Here: The First 10 AI Skills to Install in Muse
Two thousand listings is a bad first page. If you have just met Muse and want to know what a skill even does, start with these ten. Every pick is free, has no heavy prerequisite and carries no security warning — and each one covers a different job, so by the end you have felt what skills are for instead of just reading about them. They are also gathered on one shelf, Start here: the starter pack, if you would rather browse than read.
The ten, in install order
- Handoff — Install this one first. When a conversation gets long or you switch tasks, Handoff compresses where you are into a clean brief your next chat picks up — no more re-explaining.
- Quest Board — Your to-do list as a game board: quests, XP and a Monday boss. The friendliest way to feel, on day one, what a skill actually changes in your Muse.
- Anti-Phishing Email Check — The safety reflex to build early: paste any scary "action required" email and get a sourced verdict — headers, real link destinations, official channel — before you click anything.
- Muse Muscle Pack — The most-viewed listing on this site: extra hands for your Muse — heavier lifting on demand, from the PC you already own. Install it when plain chat starts feeling slow.
- Skill Harbor MCP — Connects your Muse to this whole catalogue, so from then on you can ask your assistant itself what exists for a job instead of browsing pages.
- Instagram Saved Reels Sort — The concrete one everyone gets instantly: your pile of saved Instagram reels, sorted into collections you define. A small job, done completely.
- YouTube Connector for Muse — Your first connector: search YouTube, pull video details and manage your channel from a chat. Shows the other half of the catalogue — connectors, not just skills.
- Entretien Auto — Everyday life, in French or English: car maintenance tracked by date and mileage, with an honest dated history. No account, no cloud — your data stays local.
- Lifeboat — The continuity habit: a structured way to keep what matters about your setup and projects recoverable. Boring on day one, priceless the day something breaks.
- Celestial Journal — The personal one to finish: a sky journal with real astronomical dates and your own verdicts. Proof that a skill can be a ritual, not just a tool.
How to pace it
Install the first three today. Live with them for a few days — a handoff or two, a quest board in your morning, one suspicious email checked. Then add the rest as their job shows up in your week: the connector when you next open YouTube, the MCP when you catch yourself browsing this site for a fourth time. Skills you install because a real moment called for them are the ones that stay.
