# Install your team's skills (https://openknowledge.ai/docs/features/skills/install-team-skills)

Add your team's skill repository and install the skills you want, in about a minute.

Someone on your team set up a repository of skills. This page gets them into your AI tools. You need the repository name, such as `your-org/team-skills`, and nothing else.

### Open Skills Studio

In OpenKnowledge, expand **Skills Studio** at the bottom of the file sidebar, then click **Explore skills** in its header.

### Add the repository

Switch to the **Upload** tab and paste the repository name or URL. OpenKnowledge reads it and, when the source holds more than one skill, asks which one you want.

Choose the **Scope** first: **Project** for a skill tied to this repository, **Global** for one you want on every project on this machine.

Private repositories work here too, using the git access you already have.

### Repeat for each skill you want

Adding the repository does not install everything in it. Import the skills that apply to your work and leave the rest. You can come back for more later.

### Choose which AI tools get each skill

Open a skill's **Install** menu and check the tools that should read it. Each checked location points at the same source, so the skill cannot drift between your tools.

A skill is live the moment it lands. There is no separate step to switch it on: give one of those tools a task matching the skill's description and it will use it.
