Skills

Publish your company's procedures so employee agents follow one approved way of doing the work

A skill is one of your company’s procedures, written as a SKILL.md file and published so employee agents follow it. Every AI client pointed at your MCP endpoint reads published skills from the Skills page.

Availability

Skill retrieval over MCP is off until Merge turns it on for your org. Until then, published skills don’t reach employees’ AI clients. Ask your Merge contact to switch it on.

Skills grant no access

A skill tells an agent what to do. It grants nothing. Every tool call is still checked against the employee’s permissions and Tool Pack, so a skill that names a tool the employee can’t use fails like a direct request would.

A skill’s reach (the org, specific Groups, or its author alone) decides who can read it, never what they can call. See Who a skill reaches.
