AI Skill Library v3.11

560 reusable skills, organised into 28 skillsets.

A skill is a governed unit of work: a repeatable action an agent can perform on your tender data, with a defined input, output, authority level and evaluation harness. Skills compose into the 8-stage lifecycle and are controlled at 5 stage gates. Nothing is a black box.
