Curate and govern the catalog
Keep your organization's shared catalog useful as it grows.
Advanced · ~10 min · Prerequisites: admin access
Creating and editing your organization's shared skills and plugins — the Manage area — is admin-only. Everyone else browses, copies, and sets things up from the catalog.
What you'll do
Review what your organization has published, keep names and descriptions easy to search, retire stale entries, and apply a few principles that keep the catalog from becoming a sprawl.
Review what's published
Open Manage to see everything your organization has shared. Cross-reference the Organization tab (skills) and the Plugins tab (plugin bundles) to get the full picture. Look for duplicates, outdated entries, and skills that no longer match how your team works.

Keep names and descriptions searchable
Members search by name, description, category, and tags. A skill named "Email helper" is harder to find than "Draft a customer reply email." For each entry in Manage, ask:
- Does the name say what the skill does, not what it is?
- Does the description tell a member when to reach for it?
- Are the tags specific enough to narrow results without being so narrow they miss people?
Retire what's stale
A catalog full of old entries trains people to stop trusting it. When a skill or plugin is no longer maintained or relevant, remove it from Manage rather than letting it linger. Members who forked a skill into Mine keep their copy — removing the shared entry does not affect them.
Encourage copies, not sprawl
The healthiest catalogs have a few strong shared skills rather than many overlapping ones. When you see two organization skills doing roughly the same job, consolidate them into one well-named entry and retire the rest. Publish skills that are broad enough to be useful to many people, not so narrow they only serve one team's specific workflow.
