What is the difference between a skills library and a skills matrix?
The library is the catalog: each skill with a title, a description, proficiency levels and practical examples per level. The matrix maps that catalog against positions and shows the level each role requires for each skill. In Coodesh, both live inside the same career path: the Skills tab holds the library, organized by category, and the Distribution tab is the matrix, with positions grouped by track.
Do I have to write every skill from scratch?
No. You can import skills from the Coodesh catalog, which come with descriptions and preset levels, and adjust them to your context. You can also ask AI for a starting skill set for a position, or clone an existing career path, which copies its tracks, positions and skills. Writing from scratch is only needed for what is specific to your business, such as in-house processes and tools.
How does AI suggest skills for a role?
Inside a position, AI uses the role's name and context to propose a set of skills with a description and examples for each level. When you create a skill by hand, it can also write the description and examples for a single level. Everything can be reviewed and edited before saving, and HR and team leads still decide what each position requires.
What happens to the taxonomy when our org structure changes?
The career path follows the change. Positions and tracks can be moved between tracks and between career paths without losing requirements, skills maps or people, and a simulation shows what will change before you confirm. Career paths also keep a version history. For edits that should not affect existing maps, switch the career path back to draft, make the changes and publish again.
How does the skills library connect to skills mapping and analytics?
When a career path is published, skills maps are created for the employees in each position, based on the levels set in the matrix. Skills with no level for a position stay out of that map. Each position can also have a linked assessment, so a self-reported level can be checked with a hands-on test. The skills matrix exports per map or consolidated, and skills map data reaches your BI through the Datalake.
