ChatGPT Finally Launched Skills — Happycapy Has Had 150+ for Years

What is ChatGPT Skills?

In late 2025, reports surfaced that OpenAI was internally testing a new feature called Skills — codenamed "Hazelnut." The goal: replace the aging Custom GPTs system with something more modular. Instead of configuring a full GPT persona, users would be able to install standalone skills that ChatGPT could call on demand via slash commands.

By early 2026, the feature went live. Skills let ChatGPT access web search, run code, process files, and handle workflows — all as discrete, composable modules. The tech press called it "a shift toward agent-native AI." BleepingComputer noted the design was similar to Anthropic's Claude skill system.

What none of those articles mentioned: Happycapy has had this architecture since launch — with 150+ skills, not 20.

What Happycapy's skill system already includes

Happycapy was built from day one as a skill-first platform. The idea: instead of one monolithic model doing everything, Capy can call specialized tools for specific jobs — and the user controls which tools are active.

These are 8 of the 150+. The full list includes browser automation, social media tools, data visualization, research assistants, writing aids, and more. See the complete skills list →

ChatGPT Skills vs Happycapy: side by side

The gap that matters most: memory

ChatGPT Skills makes the tool more powerful within a session. You can now trigger web search, run code, and compose workflows — all from one chat. That's genuinely useful.

But the next day, you start from zero again. ChatGPT Skills has no memory of which skills you used, why you used them, what output you got, or what your preferences are. Every session is a clean slate.

Happycapy's skills run on top of a persistent memory layer. Capy remembers that you always want image generation in a flat design style. It remembers your newsletter topics, your brand voice, your recurring workflows. The skills get smarter the more you use them — because the agent carrying them remembers the context.
