Buyer question

How to claude code skills?

The short answer: create a folder with a SKILL.md, give it a clear name and description, and put it where Claude Code looks for skills.

A Claude Code skill is a folder containing a SKILL.md file. The file starts with YAML frontmatter (name and description) followed by Markdown instructions. Personal skills live under ~/.claude/skills/; project skills live under .claude/skills/ in the repository.

  1. Create a folder named after the skill.
  2. Add SKILL.md with name and description frontmatter.
  3. Write the instructions in Markdown below the frontmatter.
  4. Place the folder under ~/.claude/skills/ (personal) or .claude/skills/ (project).
