What you'll do
Learn what the three skill scopes mean, how they determine who can use and edit a skill, and what happens when you copy one.
Built-in
Built-in skills ship with Opisense. They're available to everyone in your workspace without any setup. You can use them directly with the assistant or an agent.
Built-in skills are read-only — you can't edit them. If you need to change how one behaves, copy it into Mine first.
Organization
Organization skills are shared by your team across the workspace. An admin publishes them so every member can use them, the same way Built-in skills work but scoped to your org.
Like Built-in skills, Organization skills are read-only for non-admin members. Copy one into Mine if you want your own version with different instructions.
Mine
Mine is your private library. Skills here belong only to you — no one else can see or use them. You can create skills here from scratch, or land copies from Built-in and Organization tabs.
You have full edit access to everything in Mine. Changes you make affect only your copy.
How copying changes scope
When you click Copy on a Built-in or Organization skill, Opisense creates a new skill in Mine that you own outright. The original stays where it is, unchanged. Your copy is independent — you can edit its instructions without affecting anyone else.
Copying is the right move whenever you want to customize a skill. For the full walkthrough, see Copy a skill into your library.
