# Sharing

> Markdown variant of <https://www.skillzdrive.com/docs/guides/sharing>.

Share individual skills with specific users via link or email.

## What is sharing?

Sharing gives another user access to a specific skill from your
drive. Unlike teams (which share an entire library), sharing is for
granting access to individual skills one at a time.

Once a user accepts a share, the skill appears in their MCP tool
listings automatically — just like their own drive skills.

## How to share a skill

Open any skill card in your drive and click the **Share** button.
The share dialog offers two methods:

| Method | How it works |
|--------|--------------|
| Share link | Generate a link and send it to anyone. They click the link to claim the share. Links expire after 24 hours. |
| Share by email | Enter a user's email in the Access tab. If they have an account, they'll see a pending share notification. |

## Accepting or rejecting a share

When someone shares a skill with you, it appears as a **pending
share** in your drive. You can:

- **Accept** — the skill appears in your MCP tool listings immediately.
- **Reject** — the share is dismissed and the skill does not appear in your drive.

Once accepted, shared skills appear alongside your own drive skills
in `skills_searchSkills` and `skills_listSkills` results. Your
agent uses them exactly like any other skill.

## Managing access

As the skill owner, you can see all recipients in the Share
dialog's **Access** tab. From there you can:

- See who has access and their status (pending, active).
- Revoke access for any recipient at any time.
- Send new shares by email.

## Sharing vs. teams

|  | Sharing | Teams |
|---|---------|-------|
| Scope | Individual skill | Entire skill library |
| Audience | Specific person | Group of people |
| Management | Per-skill share dialog | Centralized team page |
| Best for | Quick, one-off access grants | Ongoing group collaboration |

## Next steps

- [Teams](https://www.skillzdrive.com/docs/guides/teams.md): shared skill libraries for groups.
- [Collections](https://www.skillzdrive.com/docs/guides/collections.md): organize skills into subsets per API key.
- [Custom agent integration](https://www.skillzdrive.com/docs/agent-integration.md).
