Using Glean
Use Glean MCP tools to answer questions about company documents, internal wikis, policies, RFCs, design docs, people, teams, meetings, decisions, action items, email, calendar events, internal code, and the user's own work activity. Reach for this whenever the answer lives in enterprise systems rather than the local codebase or public web. Trigger phrases include "find the doc about", "what's our policy on", "where is the spec for", "who works on", "who owns", "find someone who knows", "what was decided in the meeting", "action items from", "search my email", "what did I work on last week", and "find the implementation in our repos". Don't use it for questions answerable from the local working directory, the public web, or generic programming knowledge.

From the source SKILL.md
The Glean MCP server exposes a family of tools that let the assistant query the user's company knowledge: documents, people, meetings, email, internal code, the user's activity feed, structured memory, and the knowledge graph. This skill is the entry point. It maps a user's question to the right tool, names the rules that apply across all of them, and links to per-tool reference files that carry the deep syntax.
What this skill does
Using Glean is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the personal-productivity sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/using-glean/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
Who uses this skill
The Using Glean Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 196,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
