# 3. Skills
Skills are the core capability modules of Astron Agent, equivalent to callable "tools and capability plugins" for the Agent.
With skills, Astron Agent can evolve from a mere chat interface to a powerful task executor.
# 3.1 What is a Skill?
A skill is a discrete capability unit that can be invoked by Astron Agent, including:
- External tools (Search, OCR, API...)
- Model capabilities (Speech, Image, Reasoning...)
- Workflows (Multi-step automated task execution...)
- Industry templates (Research reports, PPT, Analytical reports...)
# 3.2 How to Acquire Skills
Astron Agent supports two methods for acquiring skills:
# Method 1: Manual Installation via Skills Marketplace
Go to the Skills Marketplace, search by keywords and manually install skills.
# Method 2: Automatic Installation via Conversation
Simply describe your requirements in the conversation, and Astron Agent will automatically acquire and install the required skills.
Prompt Examples:
- I need a skill that can analyze stock market trends.
- Find me a skill for making PPT and install it.
# 3.3 Skill Trigger Mechanisms
Astron Agent supports two methods for triggering skills:
# Method 1: Automatic Trigger
Users express their requirements naturally. The system matches the appropriate skill and automatically invokes it to complete the task.
Prompt Example:
- Help me analyze this CSV file and generate charts.
# Method 2: Explicit Invocation
Users explicitly specify the skill to use.
Prompt Example:
- Use "Aggregated Search" to check the AI industry trends.
# 4. Subscription Plans
Astron Agent offers two monthly subscription tiers to suit different needs:
- Pro Plan — Essential access with standard features
- Ultra Plan — Professional-grade access with expanded capabilities and resources
| Pro | Ultra | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $20/M | $80/M |
| Credits | 20,000 | 100,000 |
| Features | • One-click Deploy Astron Agent • Monthly Bonus: 20,000 Credits • Daily Login Bonus: 200 Credits • Out-of-box Skills • Standard Task Processing • Credit Top-up Support | • One-click Deploy Astron Agent • Monthly Bonus: 100,000 Credits • Daily Login Bonus: 200 Credits • Out-of-box Skills • Priority Processing During Peak Hours • Credit Top-up Support • Exclusive Discount on Credit Top-up • Early Access to New Features |
# 5. Credit Types
Astron Agent uses Credits as the unified billing unit to measure all resource consumption on the platform, including model capability usage, skill invocation, task execution, and other operations. More complex tasks consume more Credits.
Credit Deduction Order:
- Credits closest to expiration are always deducted first.
- If multiple credit types share the same expiration date, Subscription Credits are deducted before Add-on Credits.
# 5.1 Subscription Credits
Subscription Credits are included with your monthly plan. They are valid only within the current billing cycle and expire at the end of that period. If your subscription is cancelled or terminated, any remaining credits are forfeited immediately. Unused credits do not roll over to the next billing cycle.
About billing cycles: Your monthly plan renews automatically on the same date each month — this is your renewal date. For example, if you subscribe on the 15th of a month, your plan renews on the 15th of every subsequent month, and each billing cycle runs from the 15th through the 14th of the following month. If your renewal date does not exist in a given month (e.g., your renewal date is the 31st but the month only has 28 days), your plan will renew on the last day of that month instead.
# 5.2 Add-on Credits
Add-on Credits are purchased separately on top of your subscription plan. They are valid for one year from the date of purchase; any unused Add-on Credits expire automatically after this period. Add-on Credits require an active subscription — they cannot be purchased or used without one. If your subscription lapses while you still have unused Add-on Credits, those credits are retained in your account and will not be forfeited. Once you reactivate any valid subscription plan, your remaining Add-on Credits (within their validity period) will become available again.
# 5.3 Daily Login Bonus Credits
As a thank-you for staying active, you'll receive 200 complimentary credits each day you log in. These credits are valid only on the day they are issued and will expire at 23:59 UTC that same day if unused.
# 6. Add-on Credit Packages
You can purchase additional credit packs at any time to supplement your monthly plan allowance.
| Credits | 1,000 | 5,000 | 10,000 | 20,000 | 100,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price | $1 | $5 | $10 | $18 | $88 |
# 7. Plan Changes
You can change your subscription plan at any time.
# 7.1 Upgrading Your Plan
- Upgrades take effect immediately.
- Your remaining credits from your current plan are retained along with their original expiration dates. New benefits, resources, and credits associated with the upgraded plan are granted and activated according to the new plan's terms.
Example: If your Pro monthly plan renews on March 1 and you upgrade to Ultra on March 15, your Pro plan benefits remain fully active through April 1, while your Ultra plan benefits are active through April 15.
# 7.2 Downgrading Your Plan
- Your current plan remains active through the end of the current billing cycle.
- The new plan takes effect on your next renewal date.
- Credits do not carry over — your balance resets to the new plan's monthly allocation at the start of the next billing cycle.
Example: If your Ultra monthly plan renews on the 1st of each month and you request a downgrade to Pro on April 15, your Ultra benefits remain fully active through May 1. On May 1, your plan switches to Pro and your credit balance resets to the Pro monthly allocation — any unused Ultra credits are forfeited and will not carry over.
# 7.3 Cancelling Your Subscription
This product is a one-time subscription with no auto-renewal feature. You may only request to cancel your subscription and receive a refund in the Purchase History section within 7 days of successful payment, subject to the following rules:
- Within 7 days of successful payment: You are covered by our 7-day no-questions-asked full refund guarantee. You may request cancellation and a full refund for any reason within 7 days of your successful payment date. Upon approval of your refund request, your access to all Astron Agent services will be immediately revoked, and the full amount will be credited to your original payment method within 3-5 business days.
- More than 7 days after payment: No cancellation or refund requests will be accepted. Your subscription benefits will remain active automatically until the end of your purchased period, at which point the service will terminate automatically with no further charges.
# 7.4 Subscription Transfers
Your subscription is tied to the Astron Agent account used at the time of purchase and cannot be transferred to another account. If you need to switch accounts, cancel the subscription on your current account and purchase a new subscription on the account you wish to use.
# 8. Refunds & Exception Handling
# 8.1 Free Trial & Refund Policy
All subscription plans include a 7-day no-questions-asked full refund guarantee. You may request cancellation and a full refund for any reason within 7 days of successful payment. Subscriptions older than 7 days are non-refundable, non-redeemable for cash, and non-transferable, and services will remain active until the end of the purchased period and expire automatically.
# 8.2 Add-on Credit Purchases
Add-on Credit purchases are non-refundable and cannot be redeemed for cash or transferred to another account.
# 8.3 Failed Tasks & Account Integrity
If a task fails to complete due to a platform error, service outage, interruption, or any other issue not caused by the user, Astron Agent will review the case and issue a credit refund for eligible tasks.
# 8.4 Non-refundable Policy
Except as required by applicable law or in cases of verified service failures, all processed subscription payments and purchased Add-on Credits are non-refundable and cannot be redeemed for cash or transferred.
# 8.5 Abuse & Fraud Policy
If a user is found to have obtained credits or exploited platform resources through system vulnerabilities, unauthorized technical means, abnormal usage patterns, or any other fraudulent activity, Astron Agent reserves the right to forfeit all credits in the account and/or permanently suspend the account.
# 9. FAQ
Q1: What are the usage limits for Astron Agent?
Astron Agent offers two subscription tiers with different credit allocations. Both Pro and Ultra plans are subject to limits that may adjust based on system demand. Your available credits reset according to your plan's billing schedule.
Q2: What are credits in Astron Agent?
Credits represent the computational resources Astron Agent uses to process your tasks and generate content such as text, images, and videos. They measure the processing power, memory, and server time required. More complex tasks — such as longer inputs, higher-resolution images, or longer videos — consume more credits than simpler ones.
Q3: How is my usage calculated?
Credit usage varies based on several factors: the length of your text input (including any attached files), the length of the conversation, the resolution and duration of generated images or videos, and the complexity of the AI model used (more advanced models consume more credits per task).
Q4: What should I do if I run out of credits before my billing cycle ends?
You can purchase an Add-on Credit pack at any time via the Add-on Credits section in your account, or upgrade to a higher-tier plan for a larger monthly credit allocation.
Q5: Do unused credits roll over to the next billing period?
No. Your monthly Subscription Credits reset at the start of each new billing cycle, regardless of how many credits remained unused. This ensures every user begins each cycle with a predictable allocation. However, Add-on Credits purchased separately remain valid for one (1) year from the date of purchase and are not affected by monthly resets.
Q6: Which credits are deducted first — Subscription Credits or Add-on Credits?
Credits closest to expiration are always deducted first, ensuring you get the most value from your balance before any credits expire. If two credit types share the same expiration date, Subscription Credits are deducted before Add-on Credits.
Q7: How can I check my remaining credit balance?
You can view your current credit balance in the Credits section of your Astron Agent account dashboard.
Q8: Can I change my subscription plan?
Yes — you can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time. See 7. Plan Changes for full details on how upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations work.
Q9: What should I do if Astron Agent is not responding?
You can refresh the page, or go to Settings and click Restart Astron Agent. If the issue persists, try the Auto-Repair feature in Settings.
Q10: What is the difference between Restart, Reset, and Delete?
| Operation | Effect |
|---|---|
| Restart | Preserves all data, clears cache (similar to restarting your computer) |
| Reset | Deletes chat history and installed skills, restores default settings (similar to reinstalling the operating system) |
| Delete | Permanently deletes your Astron Agent instance and all data (irrecoverable) |
