# AccessOwl Skills for Claude

> Install the official AccessOwl plugin so Claude handles access requests, reports, and vendor updates consistently in every channel.

Claude can work with the AccessOwl API from its general knowledge, but **skills** make it
fast and consistent: a skill teaches Claude exactly how to handle one AccessOwl task, from
which endpoints to call to how to present the answer and when to ask for confirmation.

AccessOwl provides an official plugin, **ClaudeTag for AccessOwl**, bundling one skill per
task. You install it by adding AccessOwl's public GitHub repository as a plugin source in
Claude's admin settings. With the plugin installed, everyone in the channel gets the same
behavior: read-only questions answered in one message, one confirmation before anything is
created, and requests that always follow your
[approval policies](/guides/requests/approval-policies).

## The skills

| Skill                       | What you can say                                                |
| :-------------------------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `request-access`            | "Request a HubSpot Marketing seat for Tom."                     |
| `request-revocation`        | "Tom no longer needs his HubSpot seat, revoke it."              |
| `list-access`               | "What does Maria have access to?"                               |
| `mirror-access`             | "Give Tom the same access as Lisa."                             |
| `access-report`             | "Everyone in Marketing without HubSpot."                        |
| `userlist-import-preflight` | "Validate this CSV against our Notion app before I import it."  |
| `vendor-update`             | "We finished the vendor review for Slack, record today's date." |
| `view-policies`             | "Which policy covers Salesforce?"                               |
| `discovered-apps`           | "Which apps has AccessOwl discovered?"                          |

## Install the plugin

You need the [Claude Tag connection to AccessOwl](/guides/ai/claude-in-slack) set up
first. Then, as a Claude organization admin:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Register the AccessOwl skills repository">
    In claude.ai admin settings, add the AccessOwl skills repository (link coming soon)
    as an organization plugin source and leave **Sync automatically** on. Updates then
    reach your workspace on their own; new threads pick them up automatically.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Attach the plugin">
    Open the Access bundle that holds your AccessOwl API credential, select **+** in its
    **Plugins** section, and add **ClaudeTag for AccessOwl** from the marketplace.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the recommended instructions">
    In the custom instructions for your workspace or the access channel, paste:

    ```text theme={null}
    For anything about access, applications, users, or policies, always use
    the skills from the ClaudeTag for AccessOwl plugin. Do not answer
    AccessOwl questions without them.
    ```

    This keeps Claude on the skills instead of improvising.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  The plugin also works in Claude Code: add the same repository as a plugin marketplace
  and the skills are available in your terminal.
