Are we allowed to add skills into the mounted directory (i.e. the shared skills directory)?

Hello and Welcome @Tafreshi_ Ferri 

Supported path actually is still through Forge.

What is Forge?

Forge is Atlassian’s app development platform for Atlassian Cloud.

A Rovo skill defines a specific action an AI agent can execute such as calling an API, updating data, or running predefined logic.

When you build these skills using Forge, you can deploy them internally for your own organization or publish them to the Atlassian Marketplace for wider distribution.

Are these skills compatible with Claude Skills?  I have four and I wonder whether I can port them over to Rovo.

You need to distinguish between Rovo's in-app environment and the Dev CLI here. Claude Skills are not directly compatible with Rovo Chat or in-app agents, as custom capabilities in that context must be built using Atlassian Forge actions.

However, compatibility is much closer for the Rovo Dev CLI, which utilizes the open Agent Skills protocol based on SKILL.md files. If your four Claude skills are primarily instruction-based, you can likely adapt them for the CLI by adjusting the frontmatter, allowed tools, and paths. If those skills rely on external API calls or scripts, you will need to rebuild that logic as Forge actions to make them functional inside your Atlassian apps.

I recommend reviewing whether your current skills consist of plain text instructions or external service dependencies to determine the right migration path.

They are plain text.
