Govern what got built
Then build the next one in the Forge, from real work — a skill is recorded, not described. The registered inventory across Contoso, the governed skills people can reuse, and connected-agent readiness shown separately: 2 fixed candidates · 1 identity hold · 0 activated in this view.
Your Forge register, your tenant’s Copilot catalog read and your measured credits report on one row each. Keep what earns its credits; put a name on what does not. An app you retire is one whose credits move to an app somebody owns.

Your own workflow, not a run state.
A stage is a record of YOUR process, not a statement about whether an agent is running — Microsoft exposes no run state for one, and this product never invents it.
The agent register's own lifecycle records.
Basis: Self-attested
Scroll sideways for the remaining columns.
| Stage | Agents |
|---|---|
| In review | 1 |
| ODAT | 1 |
| Approved | 1 |
| Draft | 1 |
Each stage is recorded by the people who moved the agent through it. Self-attested, and labeled as such wherever it appears.
Three ways in — prompted, adapted, or recorded — and one governed skill lifecycle. Member-made skills stay in maker review until a leader publishes them.
Your organization's own GitHub holds the files; Aristo holds the index and the receipts.
3 skills on the shelf · 1 awaiting review · 1 refused at the door · 1 plugin on the shelf · 1 MCP connection awaiting review
GitHub documents that Copilot reads project skills from a repository's .github/skills folder, so a skill on your organization's shelf is readable by every agent that opens that repository — GitHub Copilot, VS Code, JetBrains and Claude Code alike.
Who may publish
Leaders and sponsors. A member asks, and a leader approves — the same two pairs of eyes as before.

Skills are reusable instructions, not agent packages, so they do not enter the Agent Forge promotion board.
The maker creates one portable SKILL.md.
The safety sweep and quality rubric run before saving.
A member copy stays private until its maker asks and a leader approves.
Downloads and confirmed OneDrive pushes are counted.
1 in maker review · 5 offered to the organization. A leader can withdraw an organization skill to stop new shelf access; copies already downloaded or placed in OneDrive cannot be recalled.

In a connected tenant, a signed-in leader can paste or upload the recorder's SKILL.md here. This illustrative scenario is read-only, so it shows the governed shelf without offering a write that would pretend to work.
The recording happens on your own machine — the recorder captures your screen locally.
Its Analyze step is the part to know about: that one sends screen frames, window titles and URLs, and your spoken narration to GitHub’s cloud to turn the demonstration into a skill.
So never record credentials, secrets, or a screen with tenant-sensitive data on it. Record the job, not the sign-in.
Aristo never receives or stores a recording. The only thing that reaches us is the finished SKILL.md you choose to bring — that is true by architecture, not by policy.
Recorded once
Turns a meeting transcript into owners, dates and the three actions that matter, ready to paste into Planner.

There are no per-person rows here. Maker cohorts remain subject to the 5-person privacy floor, and a skill is never called “used” merely because it exists.
2 fixed candidates · 1 identity hold · 0 activated in this view. These items are excluded from installed, working and current-register counts. They do not expose a package download or Copilot launch until their exact governed identity passes seller registration, customer-tenant installation and native leader/member acceptance.

A personal working-habits assessment for executives: it examines the evidence available in your Microsoft 365 permission boundary and applies Aristo’s Executive Score rubric, with coverage and confidence shown.

No purpose was recorded when this agent was made. Aristo shows the gap rather than writing a sentence on its maker's behalf.

Every agent under Built here is a real package in the register represented by this view. The purpose on each card is the sentence its maker recorded — Aristo quotes it and never rewrites it. Security answers are the maker's own attestation, captured before the forge would build, and they are labeled attested rather than measured everywhere they appear.
A maker is named only where your organization has turned on named recognition and that person has personally agreed to it. Both are required. The count of how many people have built something is a count of people, so it follows the same 5-person floor as every other group in this product.
