Tailscale’s Aperture can now share agent skills across a team, with identity-based access

Tailscale has updated Aperture so teams can create, organise and share AI agent skills from one place, then hand those skills to compatible agents through Skills over MCP. Admins can decide which skills go to which people or teams based on identity.

One home for your team’s AI skills. Create, organize, and share skills in Aperture, control who can access them, and distribute them to compatible agents through Skills over MCP.

In a 10 November blog post, Remy Guercio and Ondrej Bilek write that skills are usually tied to individual users and specific agents, which makes them hard to share without a lot of copying and pasting. Aperture is meant to serve as a repository for a person’s own skills across agents, and for organisation-level skills shared across teams.

How skills get into Aperture

Existing skills can be imported in four ways. You can upload a SKILL.md file, a .zip, or pasted Markdown. You can paste a link to a public GitHub repository. If a third-party source supports the .well-known skill discovery specification, you can give Aperture the URL and pick from a list of skills to import; Tailscale’s example is stripe.com. Or, if you add Aperture as an MCP server to an agent, you can ask that agent to add existing skills through MCP.

You can also create skills inside Aperture, either from the Skills menu or with a pre-built Skill Creator skill. That skill uses new MCP tools on the Aperture MCP gateway, so any agent connected to Aperture’s MCP endpoint, or Aperture Chat, can create, update and delete your skills.

Aperture also exposes MCP endpoints that list and read all of a user’s LLM sessions, no matter which agent created them. Tailscale says that lets you use a skill, have another agent review those sessions, and ask for improvements, with the progress kept across agents.

Skills over MCP

To distribute skills, Tailscale says it has implemented “the brand-new Skills over MCP spec” in Aperture. With that, a person can spread skills across their own agents or computers, and Aperture admins can share skills with individuals or teams based on identity. The company says Aperture already delivers identity-based access to LLMs, MCP servers and skills across an organisation’s AI deployments.

Not every agent supports the Skills extension yet. As agents add support, Tailscale says Aperture works with them automatically. People exploring the product can write to [email protected].
