Create a SkillWhat are Claude Skills?
Skills are reusable sets of instructions that tell Claude how to handle specific tasks. Think of them as muscle memory for your AI -- instead of repeating the same context every conversation, you teach Claude once and it remembers.
A skill is just a markdown file that lives in a .claude/skills/ folder. When you start a conversation, Claude automatically discovers any skills in your project or personal directory and applies them. No setup wizards, no configuration menus. Drop the file in, and it works.
MakeMySkill lets you describe what you need in plain English and generates a ready-to-use skill file you can download and install in seconds.
Why bother with skills?
Stop repeating yourself
No more pasting the same instructions at the start of every chat. Define it once, use it forever.
Consistent output
Skills ensure Claude follows the same rules every time -- your formatting, your tone, your standards.
Shareable knowledge
Drop a skill file into a project repo and your entire team gets the same Claude experience.
Zero friction
No API keys, no plugins, no setup. Just a markdown file in the right folder.
What can you build?
Skills work for any task where you want Claude to follow a specific playbook. Here are a few ideas to get you started.
Blog post writer
Give Claude your brand voice, formatting rules, and SEO preferences. Every draft comes out on-brand from the first pass.
Code reviewer
Encode your team's style guide, naming conventions, and common pitfalls. Claude catches the things linters miss.
Email responder
Teach Claude your tone, sign-off, and how you handle different types of messages. Replies feel like you wrote them.
Meeting summarizer
Define your summary format, what counts as an action item, and who needs to be tagged. Consistent notes every time.
Data analyst
Set up your preferred chart types, statistical methods, and reporting structure. Claude delivers analysis your way.
Product spec writer
Bake in your template, acceptance criteria format, and stakeholder requirements. Ship specs faster without the back-and-forth.
