SOP 009: Share and Distribute Skills

Fresh

Purpose

Share skills at different scopes: project (team), plugin (community), and managed (enterprise).

Method	Scope	Setup	Updates
Project skills	Team (repo-level)	Commit `.claude/skills/`	Git pull
Plugin skills	Community	Create plugin with `skills/` dir	Plugin update
Managed skills	Enterprise	Admin managed settings	Central push

Commit your skills to the repository:

bash

# Add skills to version control
git add .claude/skills/
git commit -m "Add team skills for code review and deploy"
git push

Team members get skills automatically when they pull the repo.

Create a skills/ directory in your plugin:

my-plugin/
  skills/
    review/
      SKILL.md
    deploy/
      SKILL.md

Plugin skills use plugin-name:skill-name namespace, so they cannot conflict with other levels.

Deploy organization-wide through managed settings. See the managed settings documentation.

Skills from --add-dir directories are loaded automatically with live change detection:

bash

claude --add-dir /path/to/shared-skills

Live Reload

Skills from --add-dir support live change detection, so you can edit them during a session without restarting.
