Start with the SOP people actually follow. The one in the shared drive is often from 2021.

## Most teams have a few power users and a lot of logins.

In most companies we work with, three or four people have built a serious setup of their own: saved prompts, personal skills, connections to the tools they use every day. Everyone else has an account and uses it like a search box. [Alex Lieberman](https://x.com/businessbarista/status/2056879209583349801), a founder of [Tenex](https://tenex.co), heard the same from the CHRO of a $500m consumer business and wrote it down as their key challenge: “A widening gap between power users and the rest of the org; reluctance to roll advanced access to all employees without guardrails is creating tension.”

Both halves of that sentence are reasonable. Claude Code and Cowork read files, run commands and act in connected tools, so somebody has to decide what each role and each skill may touch. Once that is decided, the methods of the few can become the team’s. A skill is a written procedure the assistant follows, and most of yours already exist as SOPs, onboarding docs and the checklists your best people keep.

The harder part is keeping it shared. [J.B.](https://x.com/VibeMarketer_/status/2086808854898323774) describes what most teams end up with: “Each person has to teach their AI what they know and how they work. The context, corrections, and workflows they create rarely reach anyone else.” A library with an owner per skill and a review step fixes that. One person’s improvement becomes everyone’s starting point the day the owner approves it.

## How the team gets set up in three weeks.

1. Set the boundaries first: With IT and the team leads we decide who gets Claude Code, who gets Cowork, which connectors are approved and what each may read, draft or change. Data that stays out is written down. Accounts, roles and settings are configured to match, on your plan and your identity provider.
2. Write the first skills from your SOPs: We collect the procedures the team already follows and pick the 10 to 15 that run most often. Each becomes a skill with a named owner, the connectors it may use and the steps it must never take. The owner reviews it against real cases before it is published.
3. Roll it out team by team: The library goes live with a distribution path, so every person has the same skills and updates arrive without copying files around. The harness links to your company context, such as a <a class="inline-link" href="/company-brain">Company Brain</a>. Each team gets a working session on its own skills, plus the usage standard.

## Set up in three weeks. Kept current every month.

Models change, connectors get added and teams write better versions of their skills. After the rollout we can look after the library each month: review the changes owners approved, retire skills nobody runs and add the next procedures worth sharing.

- New skills: The next procedures turned into skills, reviewed by their owners.
- Library review: Skills tested again after a model or connector change.
- Access check: Connectors and permissions compared with the agreed list.
- Usage report: Which skills ran, for whom, and which nobody uses.

## What you receive.

- Configured harness: Claude Code and Cowork with permissions and connectors per role.
- Skills library: 10 to 15 reviewed skills, each with a named owner.
- Usage standard: What goes in, what stays out and how work gets checked.

An indication from past projects. The final price can move a little with the size and complexity of your company, and we agree it in writing before we start.

For COOs, CTOs and team leads at 20–500 person companies. Useful when a few people work with AI every day and the rest have a login.

## Before you ask.

### Does it have to be Claude?

We usually suggest Claude Code and Cowork, because they run skills and connectors the way this setup needs. If your team has chosen another harness, the library, owners and usage standard are built the same way on that one.

### Which SOPs do you need from us?

Whatever the team follows today: procedure documents, onboarding guides, checklists, a good example email. Where nothing is written, we interview the person who does the work and write it with them.

### Who owns a skill after you leave?

A named person in your team, usually the one who owned the procedure. They approve changes, and the library shows who that is for every skill.

### How do you keep company data safe?

Access, connectors and data boundaries are agreed with your IT lead before anyone gets a login. Each skill lists the connectors it may use and the actions it must never take, and those limits are set in the configuration as well as in the text.

### How many people can you set up?

The price covers one team of up to about forty people. Larger rollouts reuse the same library and standard and are scoped per team.
