Visibility and sharing
Choose who can see an artifact: Private, Shared, Project, Organisation or Public. Share links give a read-only view of the latest published version.
Every artifact has a visibility that decides who can find, open and install it. A new artifact starts private unless you pick something else when you publish.
The levels
In a personal account:
- Private: only you.
- Shared: you, plus anyone it has been shared with individually or by link.
- Public: anyone, signed in or not. It appears on Discover and on your profile.
In an organisation:
- Private: only the person who created it. Organisation admins can still change its visibility.
- Project: members of the projects the artifact is attached to.
- Organisation: everyone in the organisation.
- Public: anyone. It also appears on the organisation's page.
Change the visibility
- Open the artifact and stay on the Overview tab.
- Under Visibility, pick a level.
- Choosing Public asks you to confirm with Make public.
A skill imported from a private GitHub repository can never be made public, and no share link opens it. See GitHub, import and listing problems.
In a personal account only the owner can change this; in an organisation it depends on your role. Agents connected to Deftro are never allowed to change visibility: you do it yourself in the web app.
A public artifact also has an Accept proposals switch, which lets other people suggest edits. See Proposals, issues and discussions.
Share links
A share link looks like /share/<token>. Whoever opens it gets a read-only view, marked Shared by link, of the latest published version. A link never gives edit access, and share pages are kept out of search engines.
A link stops working when it expires, or when the artifact is archived or taken down. A link that does not work shows a plain "not found" page, whatever the reason, so treat a share link like a password and only send it to people who should see the artifact.
Banners you may see
- Hidden from search while a report is reviewed: several established accounts, or Deftro staff, reported this public artifact. Anyone with the link can still open it. See Reports and moderation.
- Taken down by Deftro moderators: only you and your organisation can see it.

Projects
A project lists the skills and prompts one codebase needs and the people who work on it. Admins create and archive projects.Proposals, issues and discussions
Suggest an edit to someone else's artifact with a proposal, report a broken version with an issue, or ask questions in its discussion.Reports and moderation
Report an artifact that looks harmful. Public ones go to Deftro staff, an organisation's private ones to its admins. Staff can also restrict accounts.
