How to share skills with your team
Share skills with colleagues or your whole org on Team and Enterprise plans. Covers sharing, enabling, and installing from the org directory.
On Team and Enterprise plans, you can share skills you've created with specific colleagues or your entire organization. Skill sharing works in both Claude Code chat and Claude Cowork.
Note: Sharing is off by default. An owner must go to Organization settings → Skills and enable the Share with organization toggle, the Skill sharing toggle, or both before the Share button appears. If you don't see the option to share, check with your organization owner.
Share a skill you created
- Navigate to Customize → Skills.
- Open a skill you created.
- Click Share.
- Choose who to share with:
- Specific people — enter names or emails. The skill appears in each recipient's skills list, grayed out until they enable it.
- Entire organization — the skill is published to your organization's directory, where anyone can find and install it.
- Click Share (or Done).
Shared skills are view-only. Recipients can enable and use the skill, but they can't edit the contents. If you update the skill later, recipients automatically get the updated version.
Use skills shared with you
Your skills list in Customize → Skills is organized into three sections:
- Personal skills — skills you've created or uploaded yourself.
- Shared skills — skills colleagues have shared with you directly. These appear grayed out until you enable them.
- Organization skills — skills shared org-wide and skills your owner has provisioned. You install these from the directory rather than enabling them from your list.
Enable a skill shared with you directly
- Find the skill in the Shared with you section of your skills list.
- Toggle it on.
You can toggle it off again at any time, or delete it from your list entirely.
Install a skill from your organization's directory
- In Cowork, click Customize in the left sidebar, then click the + button to open the directory.
- Click the Skills tab.
- Find the skill you want and click Install.
Skills you install from the directory can be toggled off, which removes them from your sidebar. They remain in the directory so you can re-enable them later.
