   Moving a format to a neutral foundation matters mostly for procurement: it is easier to justify building internal skills when the format is not owned by one vendor you might switch away from.

   If you have not looked at the format yet, a skill is essentially a folder with instructions and supporting files that an agent loads when a task matches. Good first candidates are the checklists your team already repeats: report formats, review steps, onboarding procedures.

   Open question for the thread: who in your organisation should own and review shared skills? Treat them like code (versioned, reviewed) or like documentation (anyone edits)?
