# Browsing and Installing Skills from the Skills Library
#### Summary
The Skills Library is where you browse and install pre-built Skills from Vincent without writing any instructions yourself. Install a Skill in one click and it becomes available in your next conversation, ready to use or customize for your firm.
#### Why This is Important
Building a Skill from scratch is powerful, but you don't always need to start from zero. Vincent includes a curated library of Skills covering the most common legal tasks, deposition preparation, contract playbook checks, discovery review, privilege log generation, matrimonial proceedings under Spanish law, UK wage exposure estimates, and more, each authored to work well out of the box.
The Skills Library gives you three advantages: **speed** (install in one click instead of writing from scratch), **quality** (these Skills are professionally authored and tested), and **starting point** (once installed, you can edit any Skill to reflect your firm's specific preferences and processes). For most Builders, browsing the Library is the fastest path to a working Vincent tailored to their practice.
#### Step-by-Step Guide
**Step 1: Open the Skills Library**
1. On the Vincent home page, click **Customize** in the top right.
2. Select the **Skills** tab.
3. Open the **Skill Library** sub-tab.
You'll see all available Skills organized in cards, each showing the Skill's category, name, jurisdiction, and short description.
**Step 2: Find the Skill You Want**
You can find Skills in three ways:
* **Search by name** using the search field at the top of the Library.
* **Filter by category** using the filter dropdown (Litigation, Commercial, Civil, Laboral, Mercantil, Restructuring, Risk Management, and more).
* **Sort** by newest, most popular, or alphabetical order.
Each Skill card shows the jurisdiction it applies to, so you can quickly filter to Skills that match your practice.
**Step 3: Install the Skill**
Click **Install** on the Skill card. The Skill is added immediately to your Skills panel.
Installation is instant and reversible, if the Skill isn't a fit, you can remove it later. See Editing and Managing Your Skills.
**Step 4: Review and Customize (Recommended)**
Once installed, the Skill appears in the **Skills** sub-tab (not the Library). Open it to:
* Review its description and activation conditions.
* Edit the instructions to reflect your firm's terminology, preferred structure, or specific jurisdictional practice.
* Adjust its visibility (Inactive, Published · Just me, or submit for organization-wide publication).
Installed Skills default to **Read-only · Just me** so they're available in your conversations but not shared with the wider firm. If you want to make edits, use the **Duplicate and edit** option from the Skill's menu, this creates an editable copy while preserving the original.
Browse the Skills Library and install a ready-made Skill in one click.
#### Installing vs. Activating a Skill
These two concepts sound similar but do different things:
* **Installing** a Skill adds it to your Skills panel so Vincent knows the Skill exists and can trigger it.
* **Activating** a Skill happens automatically during a conversation when your prompt matches the Skill's conditions, or manually when you select it before starting a conversation.
Installing is a one-time setup. Activating happens every time you use the Skill. For how to activate Skills in a conversation, see Using Skills in a Conversation.

#### Best Practices & Pro Tips
* **Install with intent, not curiosity.** It's tempting to install every Skill that sounds interesting, but a cluttered Skills panel makes it harder for Vincent to pick the right one and harder for you to remember what's available. Install only Skills you'll actually use, and remove ones you don't need. A tight, curated panel outperforms a crowded one.
* **Duplicate before you edit.** When you find a Library Skill that's *almost* right, use **Duplicate and edit** rather than starting fresh. You inherit all the structural work Clio's authors put in, sub-skills, conditions, well-scoped instructions, and only change the pieces that don't fit your firm.
