Skills

A Skill is the central organizing unit in Holos. It represents a procedure or task to be captured and trained on. Everything else (captures, objects, outputs) flows through a skill.

​

Creating a skill

1. Go to Skills in the dashboard
2. Click New skill
3. Enter a title and save. The skill is created and ready to configure.

From the skill detail page you can set priority, assignees, a deadline, and tags using the metadata row near the top.

​

Description and instructions

The skill page has two main text sections: Description: context for why this skill exists and what it covers. Use this to describe the equipment or environment, the procedure being captured, and any background a reviewer needs to understand the captures. Rich text formatting is supported. Instructions: the step-by-step guide given to the operator before they record. Write these as directions: what to do, in what order, and what to narrate aloud at each step. The operator sees these in Holos Capture before starting the session. Be specific; the quality of the capture depends on how clearly the instructions communicate the expected workflow.

​

References

The References panel on the right side of the skill page lets you attach supporting materials (3D scans, documents, or images) that provide additional context for the operator or reviewer. Reference objects are not tracked during capture; they’re documentation attached to the skill record.

​

Linked objects

Go to the Objects tab on a skill to attach the 3D reference objects that should be tracked during capture sessions. See Objects for how to upload and manage the library, and Making an object trackable for how to enable AR tracking.

​

Assignees and tags

Use the Assignees field to assign team members who will record captures against this skill. Assigned members see the skill listed in Holos Capture when starting a new session. Tags are free-form labels for filtering and organization across the skills list.

​

Captures

The Captures section at the bottom of the skill page shows all sessions linked to this skill. Each capture can be reviewed and marked:

• Approved: accepted as a valid take for this skill
• Approval needed: uploaded but not yet reviewed

Click the external link icon next to a capture to open it in the full 3D viewer. Use + Link existing capture to manually attach a capture that was recorded without a skill assigned. Approval status is per skill; the same capture can be approved under one skill and pending under another.

​

Generating outputs

The Generate Outputs panel on the right lets you produce training assets from the approved captures linked to this skill: Click an output type to generate. Outputs are produced from the approved captures and the skill’s description and instructions.
