Share a skill without revealing what's inside (use-only)

You can let someone run your skill — apply your playbook, your pricing model, your checklist — without seeing the instructions inside it. That's use-only access: the strictest of the four sharing levels, built for expertise you want used but not copied.

Grant use-only access

1. Open the skill and click Share.
2. Add a teammate by name or email — or use General access to set the whole workspace.
3. Pick Use as the access level and confirm.

What the recipient experiences

• The skill shows up in their library and works normally: they can find it, run it, and apply it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or an agent.
• If they open it, they see the name and description with a locked-body notice in place of the instructions.
• Export, clone, and share options are hidden.
• The protection is structural, not cosmetic: the skill body is redacted at the API layer, so a use-only recipient can't read, export, or clone it in Agentman. When the skill runs, the body is released to the executing client marked for application only — conforming clients such as Claude apply it without displaying it. Read the full security model, including what's out of scope, at Use-only skills security.

Every use is logged

Each time someone applies a use-only skill, the event is recorded with their identity. As the skill's owner (or admin), you see it in the skill's Activity tab — total applies, distinct users, and a newest-first event trail. The applier's identity is visible only to you and your admins; the applier never gains sight of the body.

Why this matters across firms

Use-only is the "share across firms" primitive: a consultant can let a client's team run their methodology without handing over the methodology. The client gets the outcomes; the instructions stay unreadable in Agentman — with a log of every application.

Availability

Business plan. Use-only grants are enforced on Business; on Free and Team the Use level appears in the share dialog marked "· Business plan" with an upgrade link. The activity view is visible to the skill's owner and admins.
