# Workspace admin skills

> Platform skills for workspace setup, skill authoring, templates, contacts, and chat home customization.

<Note>
  **For workspace administrators and power users.** New to Surfaice? Start with [What is Surfaice?](/concepts/what-is-surfaice) and [Workspaces](/guides/workspaces).
</Note>

These skills help you configure how **Hugo** (the in-app agent) behaves for your organization. They appear in the Skills panel under **Catalog** or **Company-wide**, depending on what Surfaice provisioned for your workspace.

## Skill scopes (admin reference)

When Surfaice sets up a customer workspace, it maps an organization template to a built-in skill catalog. Admins can:

* Install additional platform catalog skills into the workspace
* Publish company-wide skills for everyone in the organization
* Let users author workspace-only skills

End users see four scopes in the Skills panel: **Built-in**, **Company-wide**, **Workspace**, **Catalog**.
