Writing skills

Writing a skill for pytlas is as easy as creating a python module, writing some code that use pytlas members and putting it in the skills directory loaded by your instance (when Using the pytlas CLI).

There’s only two parts that your skill should always define to make it work correctly, Training and Handler.

Note

For the rest of this section, I assumed the following directory structure:

- skills/
  - your_awesome_skill/
    - __init__.py

and we’re going to work directly in the __init__.py file.
