A handy way to view these are to use a spreadsheet to list all the skills and tasks in the left columns, and then list the positions in your EOC (whether ICS, Departmental, or ISM) across the top rows. We provide a sample spreadsheet already filled out, but you should edit the positions to reflect your EOC organization chart. (Maybe start with only a few key/top positions for the initial phase.)

Be aware of setting too high a bar for staff and volunteers, so a total number of skills/tasks required per position is shown across the botton as a reality check. I also found it useful to distinquish between "required" and "suggested" training/skills.

Planned for the near future is a listing of all the current Skillsets, Skills and Tasks in one place, easy to morph into whatever format you desire. We'll likley provide Excel, Google Sheet, and JSON versions to begine with.
