Scout Skills

Installing a skill

Every one of the 30 skills here is a folder of Markdown (plus the occasional script). Installing one is a copy operation.

1 · Download

Open any skill and choose Download bundle (.zip).

2 · Unzip into your skills folder

Windows   %USERPROFILE%\.scout\m-skills\<skill-name>
macOS     ~/.scout/m-skills/<skill-name>

The folder name must match the skill, and SKILL.md must sit at its root.

3 · Restart Scout

Skills are read at startup. After restarting, the skill is available as a slash command — /researcher, /industry-iq, and so on.

4 · Fill in your own values

Published skills are genericized. Search the files for these placeholders and replace them before first use:

PlaceholderReplace with
{{USER_NAME}}Your name
{{USER_ALIAS}}Your corporate alias
{{USER_EMAIL}}Your email
{{COLLEAGUE}}The relevant teammate
<your-org>Your Dataverse org
<your-tenant>Your tenant domain
<guid>The relevant tenant/subscription ID
<ATU-GROUP>, <tpid> Your territory / account IDs

Dependencies

Some skills call MCP servers (MSX, Dataverse, WorkIQ, Playwright). Each skill page lists what it Requires — set those up from the Ecosystem page first, or the skill will fail when it reaches for a tool that isn't there.
