# Find, try and add skills

Customization → Skills → Discover lists the skills you can add. Try starts a chat that uses the skill, + adds it to Yours and turns it on, and Yours has a switch for each skill.

These steps are for the web app. For the phone, see [Use skills on the phone](https://support.bluedeer.ai/mobile/general/use-skills-on-the-phone.md).

## Open Discover

1. Select **Customization** in the sidebar (or select **More**, then **Customization**).
2. The page opens at **Skills**, on **Discover**. To see your own skills, select **Yours** in the **Yours | Discover** toggle.

Discover shows:

- **From Bluedeer**: one featured skill, with **Add** and **Try**.
- **For you**: skills picked for you. Skills that work with the apps you connected come first.
- **New skills**: skills people shared in this workspace, newest first. Select **Show all** to see every one.
- A section for each category: Writing, Sales, Support, Productivity, Research and Data.

Select a card to read the whole skill, including its full instructions and its files. Nothing about a skill is hidden.

## Search, filter and sort

- Type in **Search skills** to find skills by name or description.
- **Filter** narrows the list to one category. In Discover, **Works with my apps** shows only skills that use an app you connected, or the web. In a shared workspace, **Made by my team** shows only skills people shared there.
- **Sort** orders the list by **Popular**, **Newest** or **A–Z**.

## Try a skill

Select **Try** on a card. A new chat starts and sends an example request with the skill chosen, so you can see what it does. Trying a skill does not add it.

## Add a skill

Select **+** on a card, or **Add** on the skill's page. The skill moves to **Yours** and is turned on. The card shows a check mark.

If a skill was made by someone else and Bluedeer's automatic check found something in it, such as a link or text that tries to change Bluedeer's rules, you see what it found first. Select **Add anyway** only if you trust it.

A skill marked **Needs Pro** uses a tool your plan does not have. Upgrade to add it.

## Turn skills on and off

Select **Yours** to see your skills in this workspace. Each one has a switch:

- **On**: the skill shows in the "/" list and Bluedeer can pick it.
- **Off**: the skill stays in Yours but is not used. Any changes you made to it are kept.

To take a skill out of Yours, select **⋯** next to it, then **Remove from Yours**. Past chats that used it still read correctly.

A skill with a lock icon is **Required** by your workspace's owner or admins. It stays on, and you cannot remove it.
