Applied guidance
Best practices for skills
Recommended
- Give each reusable skill an owner, clear purpose, and stated tool dependencies.
- Trial it with the intended audience and review its permissions before publishing.
Avoid
- Do not assume a skill grants access to data or tools outside the user's existing permissions.
01
What a Skill is
A Skill is a reusable capability that packages instructions and, where allowed, tool usage for repeatable work.
02
Organization skills
Organization skills are available according to organization ownership and permissions.
03
Private skills
Private skills stay limited to their intended owner or permitted audience.
04
Public skills
Public skills can be discoverable outside the owning organization when intentionally published.
05
Owner and organization attribution
Public discovery should preserve clear owner or organization attribution.
06
Permissions
Using a Skill does not grant access to protected data or tools the current user or agent cannot otherwise access.
07
External tools
If a Skill uses external tools, those tools keep their own connection and permission requirements.
08
Publishing and discovery
Publish intentionally, describe the Skill clearly, and keep its permissions and external dependencies visible.
