# Create and reuse a team skill

> Keep a portable instruction package and choose how each tool receives it.

**Outcome:** a documented skill in the library, plus an intentional copy in a
tool or vault.

**You need:** workspace Owner or Admin to author a library skill. Copying into a
vault also requires write access to that destination.

## 1. Define one job

Choose a bounded task such as turning reviewed meeting notes into a decision
summary. Specify the input, output, and when the skill should be used.

Create a package in **Skills**, open `SKILL.md`, and start with:

```md theme={null}
---
name: meeting-decisions
description: Summarize reviewed meeting notes into decisions and open questions.
---

Read the supplied notes and linked source pages. List confirmed decisions with
their owners when stated. Keep open questions separate. Do not invent owners or
deadlines. Include the source paths so a reader can verify the summary.
```

## 2. Add supporting text

Use **Add → Reference** for a sample output or a terminology guide. Save the
package and review each referenced path. If it depends on another skill, make
that dependency explicit; importing one package does not automatically bring its
siblings.

## 3. Choose distribution

**For an agent tool:** download the ZIP and install it using that tool's
supported skill mechanism. Northern Logic does not execute the package.

**For source enhancement:** copy suitable Markdown instructions into the
destination vault's `skills/` folder, then select them in Convert's AI
enhancement controls.

**For a Partner client:** assign the library resource to the sibling workspace,
then let that workspace decide whether to download or copy it.

## 4. Test with noncritical notes

Run the skill in your chosen tool, compare the result with the sources, and
check that it preserves uncertainty. Save approved output as ordinary Knowledge
Markdown if it should become a reference.

## 5. Maintain copies deliberately

Update the library when instructions improve, then reinstall or recopy where
needed. Existing tool installations and vault copies do not automatically
update. Check the package version where available.

## Check your result

Your chosen tool can discover the installed skill and produce a result that
matches the supplied notes. A reviewer can trace decisions to source paths, and
missing owners or deadlines remain explicitly unknown.

## If it did not work

If the tool cannot discover the skill, check where it was installed. A library
package or vault copy is not automatically installed in the tool. For
enhancement, check that the selected Markdown skill is in the destination vault.
