# 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?](/docs/concepts/what-is-surfaice/ai) and [Workspaces](/docs/guides/workspaces/ai).
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.
## Authoring & customization
| Skill | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| `Skill Creator` | Guided flow to author new workspace skills |
| `document-abstraction-builder` | Maintain abstraction field schemas, prompts, and validation runs |
| `template-builder` | Save reusable deliverable templates from examples, emails, reports, forms |
| `how-to-create-playbook` | Guidance for building team playbooks |
| `tool-creator` | Create advanced typed tools (typically with Surfaice engineering) |
## Workspace memory & UI
| Skill | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| `init-integrations` | Interview-based setup of key folders, people, and systems Hugo should know about |
| `edit-chat-home` | Customize starter prompts and new-chat landing cards |
| `contact-book` | Resolve and remember contacts (email, phone) for vendors, GCs, landlords, PMs |
## Sites & reports
| Skill | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| `Site Builder` | Build and publish Reports/Sites as web surfaces |
| `generate-surfaice-html` | Branded HTML exports for customer-facing report previews |
## Document utilities
Available across workspaces for file operations:
| Skill | Formats |
| --- | --- |
| `generate-pdf` | PDF merge, split, OCR, form fill |
| `generate-excel` | `.xlsx` / `.csv` creation and edits |
| `generate-docx` | Word documents |
| `generate-pptx` | PowerPoint decks |
## 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**.
## Who should use these
| Skill | Typical user |
| --- | --- |
| `Skill Creator` | Surfaice champion, lease admin lead, PMO |
| `template-builder` | Anyone producing recurring report/email formats |
| `edit-chat-home` | Admin tuning onboarding for new users |
| `init-integrations` | Admin during workspace bootstrap |
| `contact-book` | All users, Hugo uses it when routing messages |
| `Automation Creator` | Users scheduling On Watch monitors |
