Hierarchy & tiers

Skills are scoped like other Prompt Manager artifacts, with one extra tier for sharing:

text
Organization
 └── Project          ← project-scoped skills (this repo’s special rules)
 └── Organization     ← org-wide skills (security, style — every project inherits)
Global / Marketplace  ← shared skills any authenticated consumer can install

What each tier is for

TierScope idTypical use
ProjectProject UUIDRepo-specific conventions, domain runbooks
OrganizationOrg UUIDCompany-wide security / style contracts
Globalsentinel globalMarketplace / platform skills

Names are unique within (scope, scope_id). The same kebab-case name can exist at multiple tiers; resolution picks a winner.

Inheritance vs installs

  • Org skills are visible to projects in that org through resolution (subject to membership).
  • Global skills reach a project only after an install (pin) in the UI — or when they appear in the resolved set per product rules for your deployment.
  • Promotion copies a skill up a tier (project → org, or org → global) with provenance; the original remains.
