Skills

Find, use, write and keep the skills your company shares.

The Skills module is where skills live in Parcel. Everyone finds the skills shared with them and turns them on for Claude and other AI apps. Authors add skills, edit their files, and keep them in step with Git.

WhoWhat they do in this module
EveryoneFind skills in Explore, turn them on, and use them through the Parcel connector
AuthorsUpload or write skills, edit a version's files, link a skill to Git and download its history, or let an AI agent do it through the Parcel Development connector
AdminsEverything authors do, on every skill, and switch the optional features

What admins can switch off

Admins switch features under Admin, Features, in the Skills section. The catalog and the connector are part of every workspace.

FeatureSwitch

Git sync per skillOn by default

A feature that is off disappears from the hub, and Parcel refuses it everywhere else too, including the CLI and the REST API. What it holds stays stored and comes back when the feature is on again. A feature your Parcel provider has not made available reads Not available for this workspace and cannot be switched on.

How a version gets from upload to the people who use it is described in Review and tests.
