Getting started

What CoreSkill solves, the ideas you need, and your first ten minutes.

CoreSkill is where your company keeps its skills in one place, meaning the instructions you write once for AI to follow. You publish them once, scope them by department, and hand every person their own key. Their AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Gemini…) reads the latest version straight from the source, and nobody downloads a file.

Why you stop mailing files around

Shipping instructions as attachments falls apart on day two: you change the process and have to resend it to everyone; every machine holds a different version; nobody knows which one is current; the person who quit still has the file on their laptop. CoreSkill makes the server the single source of truth, and revoking a key cuts access on the spot.

Seven ideas to get straight

Skill: One set of instructions for AI: a sales process, reply templates for customers, an operations checklist. The body is the content of a SKILL.md file, and you can attach files alongside it (reference docs, forms, data).
Skill server: A group of skills that belong together, plus who gets to see them. For example a Marketing server holds every skill the marketing department uses.
Business: Your company on CoreSkill. Everything, meaning departments, servers, people and keys, lives inside one business. One account can create or join several.
Department: Your org chart, as a tree. A server scoped to one department is visible to every sub-department too: scope it to Marketing and Marketing › Content can read it.
Business hub: A single address for the whole company: /api/mcp/biz/<id>. Every key plugged in here sees exactly the servers its holder is allowed to read.
Key: The secret string an AI assistant uses to reach the hub. There are three kinds, see The three kinds of key.
MCP: The open standard AI assistants use to reach outside sources. You don't need to understand it. You paste one address and one key into your assistant's settings.

The four roles inside a business

Your role decides what you can do. Don't confuse it with the system role (Administrator / Manager / Member) under account settings, which is only for the people who run the whole server.

Task	Owner	Admin	Manager	Member
Edit or delete the business, transfer ownership	yes	no	no	no
Create, rename and move departments	yes	yes	own branch only	no
Invite, edit and suspend people	yes	yes (never the Owner)	own branch, Manager and below	no
Create and edit servers and skills	every server	every server	servers scoped to own branch	no
Issue and revoke member keys	yes	yes	people in own branch	their own, if the business allows self-service keys
Read usage logs	whole business	whole business	own branch	their own
Create Admin MCP keys	yes	yes	no	no

A member who is Suspended loses every right above, even while their role still says Admin. Their keys stop working immediately.

Step 1: Create an account

Open the home page and hit Get started (or go straight to /register).
Fill in Your name, Email and Password, then hit Create account.
Passwords need at least 8 characters. Names top out at 100.
Open your inbox, take the 6-digit code and type it on the Verify your email screen.
The code lives 10 minutes. The form submits itself once all six digits are in, so there's no button to press. No mail? Hit Send a new code, at least 60 seconds apart.
Right code, account created, and you land back on the sign-in screen.
The account only truly exists after this step, so junk sign-ups leave nothing behind in the system.

Signing in with Continue with Google or Continue with Facebook skips the 6-digit code entirely. Those two buttons only appear once your operator has configured keys for them.

If a colleague invited you

Don't create a new business. Open the link in the invitation email and sign in with the exact address that was invited, and see the For employees section.

Step 2: Create your business

Go to Businesses (the /biz page).
Hit New business, type a Business name and hit Create.
Up to 80 characters, and you can rename it whenever you like.
You land straight on the dashboard of the business you just made.
It gets a fixed 12-character Business ID, which is the tail of your hub address and can never be changed.

By default each person owns at most 3 businesses. Joining someone else's doesn't count against that. Go over the ceiling and you'll see You can own at most 3 businesses.

Step 3: The four jobs left

Your business dashboard already carries a Get your team connected card with four steps, each with a Go button. The card disappears by itself once all four are done.

Create a server. A server groups skills together with the keys allowed to read them.
Add a skill by writing one on the web, or by uploading a .zip / .skill package.
Issue a key for each person. Revoke it and they're cut off.
Connect your AI by pasting the hub address and a key into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Gemini.

If your company has several departments, build Departments before you create servers. Then you can pick which departments see a server as you create it.

Finding your way around

The left sidebar changes with your role: a Member only sees Dashboard, My access and Usage logs.
The business switcher sits in the top bar. Click it to jump to another business.
Press Ctrl + K (macOS: ⌘ + K) for the command palette: find a page, find a server, flip light and dark, change language.
A small tab on the right edge of the screen opens the guide right beside your work; ? and the book icon in the top bar do the same. On a computer the panel pushes the page left so you can read and click at the same time, and on a phone it slides up from the bottom. It opens at the section matching the page you are on, and clicking the section name takes you back to the list.
On a phone, the bottom tab bar holds the four main destinations; the Menu tab opens the full list.
Every filter and page number lives in the URL, so you can bookmark them and the Back button behaves the way it should.
