# Discover and use a skill

> Find a skill, assess its current version, and use it in a supported environment.

# Discover and use a skill

Use this flow when you need a skill for a real job, not just a similar-looking
name from another workspace.

## Before you start

Choose the workspace where the work belongs. Personal scope is useful for your
own experiments; shared scope is where a team can find and maintain the same
skill. You need access to the workspace before a skill in it can appear in
Browse.

## Find and assess the skill

1. Open the intended workspace from the sidebar.
2. In **Browse**, select **Skill** and use **Search skills** to find the skill
   by name or description.
3. Select the skill to open its profile.
4. Start on **Overview**. Read what the skill does, when to use it,
   prerequisites, and triggers.
5. Open **Source** and confirm the live version, package files, and provenance.
6. Review **Relationships** when the skill has dependencies or nearby skills
   that could overlap with it.
7. Review **Usage** when trace-backed evidence is available and relevant to
   your decision.

The **Security** tab is currently a Coming soon preview. Continue to use your
organization's review process; it does not yet certify a skill.

## Use it in a supported environment

Choose **Try in chat** when it is available for the current environment. Use
**Open in** to hand the skill to a supported coding environment. The available
choices depend on the app you have installed.

When your environment needs a pinned package rather than an interactive handoff,
retrieve that selected version through the supported CLI or API flow. Confirm
the retrieved manifest matches the version you reviewed.

<Note>
  Do not assume that a skill works in every harness. Add environment-specific
  installation steps only after they have been tested against the current
  product and client version.
