Skills registry

A skill bundle is a SKILL.md document, plus any scripts and files it points to, that tells an agent when and how to do one job. The skills registry is your organization’s library of them. A badge on every skill shows who provided it.

​

Find and add a skill

Add skill in an agent’s settings lists everything the agent may reach. The Skills chip under FILTERS narrows to skill bundles. All, Organization and Mine under SCOPE split what is shared with you from what you created. Search covers names and descriptions. xpander’s own skills install in one click. A registry skill opens a preview of its SKILL.md first. The same library is in Settings > Skills (Code skills tab, with Import skill and New skill). Admins see each item’s organization setting in Platform > Agents > Skills registry, where your own skills show as Personal.

​

Create a skill

In the panel, choose Custom skill > Skill (or Create a skill when the list is empty). To import instead, use Import file or zip (a .md, or a zip with SKILL.md and other files, the only way to add extra files) or From URL. Adjusted imports show an Imported with warnings banner. Claude Code skills use the same format, and Omni can import them from Claude. See Get started.

​

Manage a skill you created

Open it from Settings > Skills. You can edit Name, Description, Shared with and SKILL.md (Save changes bumps the version). The ⋯ menu has Download bundle, Replace files and Delete, which removes the skill from every agent using it and can’t be undone. If you attached someone else’s skill, you get Remove from agent only.

​

Approve skills that agents build

A skill or custom code an agent builds starts as a Draft, usable only by that agent and the person it was built for. It joins the library only with a passing test report. The switches are Agents build skills and Publish without approval under Agent-built skills (Govern). With Publish without approval off, an organization admin reviews it in the registry: the header counts waiting items, Test reruns the recorded test, Approve adds it to the library and Reject returns it to the agent as a draft.

​

What is governed and recorded

• Who may use a skill is its Shared with setting. Repository skills can also be restricted to an allowlist or scoped to one agent, and xpander Chat refuses to attach them elsewhere.
• Who may add or manage skills is set per group with the Add skills and Manage skills toggles in Platform > Organization > Members & groups.
• Every skill carries its version and provider badge, so an agent’s skills list reads as a bill of materials.
• The audit log records Skill Created and Skill Added under the Agent category, with who did it. Each skill call is in the task record. See Permissions and access and Credentials.
