Skills that teach AI assistants like Claude and Codex to handle AccessOwl tasks consistently.
AI assistants can work with the AccessOwl API from their general knowledge, but skills
make them fast and consistent. A skill teaches the assistant exactly how to handle one
AccessOwl task, from which endpoints to call to how to present the answer and when to ask
for confirmation.The AccessOwl skills repository
holds one skill per task, curated by the AccessOwl team for accuracy. Read-only questions are
answered in one message, the assistant asks for one confirmation before it changes anything,
and requests always follow your approval policies.
Fork the
AccessOwl skills repository
(github.com/AccessOwl/claude-skills-for-customer) into a private repository in
your organization’s GitHub account.
Claude only accepts private or internal repositories as organization plugin
sources, so the public AccessOwl repository can’t be connected directly. Your
fork is what Claude syncs from.

Connect the fork to Claude
In claude.ai, go to Organization settings > Plugins and add your fork as a
plugin source via Sync from GitHub. If prompted, install the Claude GitHub App
on the fork. Leave Sync automatically on so plugin updates in your fork reach
your workspace on their own; new threads pick them up automatically.
3
Attach the plugin
Open the Access bundle that holds your AccessOwl API credential, select + in its
Plugins section, and add AccessOwl Skills from the marketplace.

Add the recommended instructions
Paste these instructions into the custom instructions for your workspace or the access
channel. They keep Claude on the skills and make it confirm every change before writing
it, even when a request is phrased as a direct command:
For anything about AccessOwl access, applications, users, or policies, use the AccessOwl skills and follow them exactly, including their confirmation step: never create, change, close, or delete anything in AccessOwl until you have shown the skill's confirmation message and the person asking has answered yes to that message, even when the request is phrased as a direct command. Do not mention the skills or link their files in your replies.
Claude syncs from your fork, so new skill versions published by AccessOwl reach you once
your fork catches up with the upstream repository. Two ways to do that:
Select Sync fork on your fork’s GitHub page whenever AccessOwl announces a new
version. One click, done.
The repository ships a sync-upstream GitHub Actions workflow that pulls upstream
changes into your fork on a daily schedule. Enable Actions on your fork once and
updates flow through without any clicks.
