   - **Confirmations and suggested tasks** get Accept / Reject buttons.
   - **Single-choice questions** get a button per option. Your pick is posted on the task as a comment from you, which wakes the agent.
 - **Access control.** Choose who may talk to agents: everyone, or only the people you pick. Each person can be limited to some agents, and people outside Paperclip can be added by email.
-- **Agents work in Mattermost themselves.** Through plugin API routes that only agents can call, each agent reads the channels its bot is in, posts, reacts, searches, and DMs the people allowed to talk to it, always as its own bot. `GET /api/plugins/mattermost-bridge/api/mm/help` tells an agent how.
+- **Agents work in Mattermost themselves.** Through plugin API routes that only agents can call, each agent reads the channels its bot is in, posts, reacts, searches, and DMs the people allowed to talk to it, always as its own bot. Each company gets a Mattermost skill that tells agents how, and saving the settings adds it to every agent with a bot, so they can message people from tasks and scheduled runs too.
 - **Agents work with agents.** An agent mentioning another agent starts it, and it answers in the thread. After a set number of agent-to-agent messages in a thread (10 by default, set in settings), they pause until a person replies.
 - **Work channels.** For an investigation, incident or project, an agent opens a private channel (`inc-checkout-5xx`), pulls in the people and agents it needs, and ties it to a Paperclip task. Task comments and status changes show up in the channel. When the task is done or cancelled, the channel is archived and the outcome is posted back where the work was asked for.
 - **Ask first.** Some actions wait for an approver to click Approve: `@channel`, `@all` and `@here`, public channels, and adding people to a channel the agent didn't create. Agents can't change or archive channels they didn't create, remove anyone, or touch team and server settings.

+You have your own Mattermost account (a bot). Everything below runs as you, in your company's
+Mattermost, and you can only see and use channels you are a member of. Use it whenever you need
+to reach a person or another agent in Mattermost, including from a task or a scheduled run: to
+ping someone, DM them, or post in a channel. Call it with your Paperclip API credentials:
+
+  B="\${PAPERCLIP_API_URL%/}"; B="\${B%/api}/api/plugins/mattermost-bridge/api"
+  curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $PAPERCLIP_API_KEY" "$B/mm/channels"
+  curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $PAPERCLIP_API_KEY" -H "content-type: application/json" \\
+    -d '{"person":"username","text":"..."}' "$B/mm/dm"
+
+Answers are JSON. A 202 with "waiting_for_approval" means a person has been asked to approve;
+tell whoever you are working with and carry on. A 403 says why something is not allowed.
+
+## How to work
+
+- **Pick the size of the work.** A quick question: answer in the thread. A task: create a Paperclip
+  task (assign it to yourself or delegate it) and say so in the thread with its identifier. An
+  investigation, incident or project, or anything involving several agents or more than a day:
+  create the task, then open a work channel for it (below), with the person who asked and whoever
+  you need. Name it for what it is: "inc checkout 5xx", "inv q3 conversion drop", "proj crm migration".
+- **Announce a work channel where the request came in**, in one message: what it is for, who you
+  pulled in, and that you will report back there. When the task is done or cancelled the plugin
+  archives the channel and posts the outcome back where you asked; you do not need to.
+- **Hand work to another agent by mentioning it** (@cto) in a channel or thread it is in; invite it
+  first if it is not. Give it the context it needs in that message. It replies in the thread.
+  Mention an agent only when you want it to act: every mention starts it.
+- **Say something before going quiet.** If an answer will take a while, post one line ("On it,
+  checking what shipped this morning") and then do the work.
+- Do not write @channel, @all or @here unless everyone in the channel must be notified: it needs
+  approval.
+
+## Calls
+
+Reading (GET):
+- /mm/channels                              channels you are in
+- /mm/channels/{channel}/posts?limit=30     recent posts in a channel (oldest first)
+- /mm/posts/{postId}/thread                 a whole thread
+- /mm/channels/{channel}/members            who is in a channel (people and agents)
+- /mm/search?q=words                        search messages in your channels
+- /mm/people?q=name                         find people and agents by name
+- /mm/requests/{id}                         an approval request you made
+
+Talking (POST, JSON body):
+- /mm/post      {"channel": "...", "text": "...", "threadId": "optional post id to reply to"}
+- /mm/react     {"postId": "...", "emoji": "white_check_mark"}
+- /mm/dm        {"person": "username", "text": "..."}   only people allowed to talk to you
+
+Channels (POST, JSON body):
+- /mm/channels                   {"name": "inc checkout 5xx", "purpose": "...", "people": ["username"],
+                                  "agents": ["cto"], "taskId": "BAD-123 or task id", "private": true}
+  Private by default. A public channel needs approval. With taskId, the channel is tied to the
+  task: its comments and status show up there, and it is archived when the task closes.
+- /mm/channels/{channel}/invite  {"people": [...], "agents": [...]}   free on channels you created
+- /mm/channels/{channel}/update  {"purpose": "...", "header": "...", "name": "..."}  yours only
+- /mm/channels/{channel}/archive {}                                   yours only
