Execution skill. Use when sharing metrics or lists between Pigment Applications via Libraries and cross-Application formula references.

## Install

```sh
git clone https://github.com/gopigment/ai-plugins /tmp/ai-plugins && ln -s /tmp/ai-plugins/skills/sharing-data-between-applications ~/.claude/skills/sharing-data-between-applications
```

## From README

Decide Whether Cross-Application Sharing Is Needed Pigment Applications are self-contained. Data does not flow between them unless explicitly shared. Use Cross-Application Sharing When Same data needed by 2+ Applications: single source of truth, no duplication Security boundary required: teams access only their Application; shared metrics expose only sanitized outputs Different team ownership: source team owns calculations; consuming teams reference results Hub pattern: one central Application (FX Hub, Dimension Hub) feeds many consumers Do not share when data is used in only one Application, or when a simple import snapshot is sufficient and live linkage is unnecessary. Share a Metric to Another Application Share the block using tool:batchshareblocks to make it available to other Applications. In the consuming Application, activate the source Library using tool:enableapplicationlibrary. Reference the shared block in formulas using cross-Application syntax (see below).
