General

Super Magic is the AI assistant built into Thread Inbox. Ask it anything in plain language — about a ticket, a contact, a company, a device — and it finds the answer or does the work. Start with Meet Super Magic.
Not in chat. It reads freely, and before any write it shows a Confirm action card — nothing happens until you click Confirm. The exception is a Super Magic Agent running in a Flow: nobody confirms each step there, so the write tools you check in the Flow become its entire scope.
Super Magic only offers you the tools you’re allowed to use. Write actions are controlled by your admin, intents and flows are always admin-only, integration tools appear only once connected and enabled, and some tools need your own sign-in. Work through Why a tool might be missing or the admin guide troubleshooting checklist.

Skills

Skills can be triggered wherever Super Magic itself runs, plus in Flows:
  • Super Magic in Inbox — run a skill on demand in chat, confirming each write.
  • Super Magic in the Slack and Teams Companion Apps — the same saved skills, from the channel you’re already working in.
  • A Flow — the Run Skill action (beta) runs a shared skill unattended on every matching ticket. See Flows.
Thread MCP is the one place that can’t trigger a saved skill — see the next question.
No. Thread MCP puts Thread’s tools inside your own LLM — Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Cursor — with the same reads and writes as Super Magic. Saved skills live in Super Magic, so an MCP client can’t invoke one by name. Working from an MCP client, run the skill’s prompt text itself instead.
A Flow’s Run Skill action runs shared skills only. A personal skill is skipped silently, and only an admin can share one. See the Flows FAQs for the rest of the checklist.
Skill instructions are capped at 3,000 characters, and the same cap applies to a Flow’s agent prompt. A longer skill saved before the cap keeps running — you just can’t save it again until it’s shortened. Building with Super Magic covers how to get a long prompt under the limit.
A skill is a prompt that does one job on your tickets, run on demand in Super Magic with you confirming each write. A Super Magic Agent is a Flow action that fires on a matching ticket event and runs unattended, with the write tools you checked as its scope. See Agents and Skills.
