# Submitting a Skill for Organization-Wide Use

#### Summary

Skills you create are visible only to you until you submit them for organization-wide use. This guide walks you through the submission process and explains what to prepare before sending your Skill to your Publisher for approval.

#### Why This is Important

Personal Skills help you work faster. Firm-wide Skills change how your whole team works. Submitting a Skill for organization-wide use is how good individual work becomes institutional knowledge, a senior lawyer's demand letter framework becomes available to every associate, a paralegal's diligence checklist becomes the firm standard, a compliance-tested contract playbook becomes the shared baseline.

But not every personal Skill belongs firm-wide. Publishers review submissions carefully because approved Skills apply to real client work across the organization. A well-prepared submission, tested, well-scoped, with a clear description, has a much higher chance of approval than one thrown over the wall. Taking a few minutes to prepare properly is the difference between a Skill that gets approved on first submission and one that comes back with rejection notes.

#### Who Can Submit Skills

Any **Builder** (or Publisher) can submit a Skill they've created. Users cannot submit Skills because they can't create Skills in the first place. Everyone in your organization is a User by default, so no special access is needed. See [Skills Roles and Permissions.](/vincent-by-vlex/vincent/skills/skills-roles-and-permissions.md)

#### Before You Submit

Before clicking submit, run through this short checklist to give your Skill the best chance of approval:

* **Test it thoroughly.** Run the Skill on at least three different realistic prompts. Check that the output is what you'd expect at production quality, not just close enough for your own personal use.
* **Sharpen the description.** Publishers use the description as their first signal of whether the Skill is fit for firm-wide use. A vague description reads as an unfinished Skill even if the instructions are excellent.
* **Scope the activation conditions.** Make sure the Skill triggers on the right prompts and only on the right prompts. Overly broad conditions cause misfires that Publishers will reject.
* **Check firm-wide relevance.** Would associates in other practice groups benefit from this Skill? Would a colleague on the other side of the office trust it on their own client matters? If the answer to either is no, the Skill may be better kept personal.
* **Review for confidentiality.** Make sure the Skill doesn't reference specific client information or matter-specific details that shouldn't be shared firm-wide. Skills should be generalizable frameworks, not artifacts of a specific matter.

If any of these aren't quite there yet, refine the Skill in the editor before submitting, see Editing and Managing Your Skills.

#### Step-by-Step Guide

**Step 1: Open the Skill**

1. On the Vincent home page, click **Customize** in the top right.
2. Select the **Skills** sub-tab.
3. Locate and open the Skill you want to submit.

**Step 2: Change the Visibility**

Click the visibility dropdown next to the Skill name. You'll see three options:

* **Inactive** — Vincent doesn't use this Skill in any conversations.
* **Published · Just me** — Vincent can use this Skill in your conversations only. This is the default for newly created Skills.
* **Publish to Organization** — sends a request to your Publisher. Once approved, the whole firm can use it.

Select **Publish to Organization**.
