Bionic now supports agent skills.

Skills are reusable shortcuts that can capture a task, specific knowledge, or custom instructions.

Bionic is an app released in July 2026 by the developers of LM Studio. Users can select their preferred AI model, running locally or in the cloud, and entrust it with tasks such as programming and slide creation.

LM Studio Bionic, which allows local AI models to be used as AI agents, has been released. It supports coding and slide creation, and cloud models can also be used - GIGAZINE

AI agent apps like Codex and Claude Code have a system called 'Skills' that bundles instructions for the AI, allowing users to assign tasks with a simple operation of 'loading Skills' instead of the tedious task of 'repeatedly entering complex and lengthy instructions.' On the other hand, LM Studio and Bionic do not support Skills, requiring users to 'create lengthy system prompts and save them as presets' as a workaround.

With Bionic now supporting Skills, it's easier to assign complex tasks. Since the Skills specification is the same as Codex and Claude Code, you can reuse Skills you've already created or Skills that are publicly available on the internet.

You can also create new Skills. If you're unsure how to implement or create Skills, you can simply have the AI agent on Bionic handle the task for you.
