Skills
A skill is a file of instructions that teaches an AI assistant to work with Moonlit the way a careful lawyer would: governing law first, verified at the source, and no claim of law without a citation that can be checked in place. Reviewing an answer comes down to opening the citations. Installing takes a download and one upload; from then on, the skill applies automatically.
The skills
| Skill | What it governs | Install it when |
|---|---|---|
| moonlit-operator | How sources are found, verified and cited | Any legal work with Moonlit |
| moonlit-reasoning | How law is applied to facts once sources are established | The assistant should analyze beyond reporting sources |
| moonlit-memo | The full research memo, both disciplines built in | You want research memos; it works alone |
Produces a Moonlit legal research memo: verified sources, complete footnotes beneath every paragraph, a reasoned position, and a document fit for review by a qualified lawyer, in the language of the user's input.

Install a skill
Skills are an open format, a folder with a SKILL.md file, and most AI apps now take them natively: claude.ai, ChatGPT, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Langdock, Mistral, and coding agents such as Claude Code.
Download the zip with its Download button above, then upload it in the app you work in:
| App | How to add the skill |
|---|---|
| claude.ai | Customize, then Skills; click +, then Create skill, then Upload a skill |
| ChatGPT | Plugins, then Skills; select Create, then Upload |
| Microsoft 365 Copilot | Skills tab; Add, then Upload skill |
| Langdock | Upload the zip (or the SKILL.md inside it) to an agent or a session |
| Mistral (Vibe Work and Vibe Code) | Same open skill format in both; add it to your skills |
| Claude Code | unzip <skill>.zip -d ~/.claude/skills/ |
In claude.ai, skills run on the code execution capability: if the Skills menu is not visible, turn it on under Settings, then Capabilities; on Team and Enterprise plans, an admin enables skills in the organization settings.
In an app without native skills, add the skill's text as project or custom instructions; the same rules apply. Every app that connects to the Moonlit MCP server (see How to connect) can use one.
Agents can read each skill directly, no download needed: moonlit-memo.md, moonlit-operator.md, moonlit-reasoning.md.
