# Descrybe Legal Engine agent skills for Claude Code, Cursor and RevampKey

> Ready-made Descrybe Legal Engine playbooks for AI agents: research a legal question into a sourced memo, check citations and quotes in a draft with Descrybe. Free SKILL.md files for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, or one click in RevampKey.

## Skills

- [Use Descrybe Legal Engine well and safely](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/descrybe/skills/essentials.md): Sets the working rules for Descrybe research: confirm jurisdiction and scope, pick the right search tool, keep results focused and report what could not be verified. It is read-only and does not change anything in your account.
- [Research a legal question into a sourced memo](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/descrybe/skills/case-law-research-memo.md): Turns a legal question into a research memo with governing law, the strongest cases, treatment checks and quoted passages, so every point traces to an authority you can check.
- [Check citations and quotes in a draft with Descrybe](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/descrybe/skills/citation-and-quote-verification.md): Audits the case citations and quotations in a brief, memo or assistant answer. It confirms each case exists, checks whether it is still good law, tests whether it supports the proposition cited, and verifies quoted wording. It asks before changing anything.

### What is a Descrybe Legal Engine agent skill?

A SKILL.md file: a short playbook an AI agent loads when your request matches it. Each Descrybe Legal Engine skill describes one job, which Descrybe Legal Engine tools to use in which order, what to check first and when to stop and ask you.

### Do the Descrybe Legal Engine skills change anything on their own?

3 of the 3 only read. The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in Descrybe Legal Engine.

### Which tools can use these skills?

Any agent that reads the open Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot and RevampKey. In RevampKey they are attached when you connect Descrybe Legal Engine; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

### Do I need the Descrybe Legal Engine MCP server too?

Yes. The skills tell the agent how to do the work; the Descrybe Legal Engine MCP server gives it the tools to do it. The Descrybe Legal Engine MCP setup guide covers every client.
