Skills are reusable instruction packs for compatible AI clients. They explain
how to gather context, use the OrgX tools available to that client, respect
decision boundaries, and leave a reviewable work record.
A skill is guidance, not authorization. MCP scopes, workspace permissions,
provider permissions, budgets, and decision policy still control what a client
or agent can do.
How skills work
When installed, a skill gives the client a repeatable workflow for a class of
work. A useful skill normally describes:
- the trigger and intended outcome;
- the context to inspect before acting;
- the OrgX tools or provider actions it may use;
- the evidence, artifact, decision, or handoff expected at the end;
- the conditions that require a question, permission, or approval.
Skills do not grant access, replace MCP authentication, or prove that an
external action succeeded. The current MCP tool catalog and
the connected provider contract are authoritative for callable operations.
Install the starter packs
The wizard can install the default OrgX skill packs into a supported client:
To install named packs:
The exact client configuration path and available pack names can change with
the wizard version. Run the wizard’s help command if a pack is not available in
your client.
Workflow packs
Availability and behavior depend on the client, workspace, and current tool
catalog. A skill may propose work without executing it.
Evidence and handoff
Good skill outputs make the next review easy. Where the workflow has evidence,
include a durable reference to the source or external result, identify what was
observed versus inferred, and state what remains unverified. Keep secrets and
raw provider transcripts out of the artifact.

MCP client setup guides.
