How It Works
Everything you need to know about creating and using Claude Skills.
1. What a Claude Skill is
A Claude Skill is a folder that packages a repeatable capability. The required file is SKILL.md. The description tells Claude when to load the skill. The body gives Claude the actual workflow instructions.
2. Basic folder structure
skill-name/
SKILL.md
scripts/
references/
assets/
Note: scripts, references, and assets are optional directories depending on your skill's complexity.
3. How to use this app
- Browse the library or build a custom skill. Find what you need or create from scratch.
- Preview the SKILL.md. Ensure the instructions and triggers are correct.
- Download the Markdown file or package. Get the raw file or a full zip.
- Create a folder using the folder name. Match the folder name exactly.
- Add SKILL.md to that folder.
- Optional files can be included in a full skill package. Most skills do not need them. Use Advanced Options only when your skill needs reference docs, helper code, templates, or assets.
- Install or use the folder in Claude where supported.
4. What makes a good skill
- It solves a repeatable task.
- It has a clear trigger description.
- It has a consistent output format.
- It includes realistic test prompts.
- It avoids vague one-line instructions.
- It does not include anything unsafe or surprising.
