Skill governance and scope
Administrators govern which packages are available and how widely they load. Members can manage their own workflows without gaining organization-wide administration.
Read the three catalog flags
Section titled “Read the three catalog flags”| Flag | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Enabled | Package can participate in the active catalog |
| Discoverable | Ordinary members can find it before receiving a grant |
| Mandatory | Organization grant loads it in every conversation |
A mandatory package is enabled and discoverable. Disabling a package removes its organization grant and excludes it. A mandatory package cannot be made undiscoverable while remaining mandatory. These controls are in Admin → Skills and exposed to administrators through set_skill_governance.
Discoverability is separate from assignment: finding a skill does not activate it. An undiscoverable package already active in a member’s context can still be inspected there. Personal visibility remains private to its author.
Choose the right section
Section titled “Choose the right section”A channel section holds project-specific packages and activates them in that channel. The shared library makes a package available for other conversations to discover and grant; library membership alone does not necessarily make it mandatory.
Administrators use the skill detail Section → Move control or set_skill_scope. Moving a channel skill to the library preserves an explicit grant in the channel it leaves. Moving to a channel requires a real non-DM conversation and can move the published repository files too.
Move the generic project-report skill into the shared library. Keep it active here, but do not grant it organization-wide.Members request promotion with a proposal instead of moving shared scope directly.
Exclude and restore
Section titled “Exclude and restore”set_skill_excluded disables a synced or bundled package persistently across imports. Removing a source tombstones its packages. Restoring a package, following a source revision, granting a skill, and making it mandatory are distinct operations; inspect the resulting effective profile after changes.
