FAQ
How do skills differ from custom instructions?
Custom instructions apply to every conversation; a skill is invoked only for the task it was built for, with its own scoped instructions and examples. Skills are shareable files, so a well-written one can be reused across projects and teams.
How do I install a skill for Claude?
Use the install command on the skill's detail page — typically a single npx command — or drop the skill folder into your client's skills directory. After a restart the skill becomes available to the agent.
Can I write my own skill?
Yes. A skill is a structured markdown definition with frontmatter describing when to use it. Study a few entries in the code-review or research categories to see the conventions authors follow.
