What is a Claude Skill?
A Claude Skill is an instructions file (SKILL.md) that teaches Claude how
to perform a specific task following your format and rules. When you ask
Claude something that matches a skill's description, it automatically
applies those instructions.
Installing — Claude Code (on your computer / terminal)
A) User-level (works in every project)
- Create the skills folder if it doesn't exist yet:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Copy each skill's folder into
~/.claude/skills/, so the final path looks like:~/.claude/skills/cold-outreach-email-writer/SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/sales-proposal-summary-writer/SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/sales-objection-handler/SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/discovery-call-question-planner/SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/follow-up-sequence-planner/SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/renewal-outreach-email-writer/SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/win-loss-summary-writer/SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/customer-support-reply-writer/SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/support-ticket-triage-categorizer/SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/customer-onboarding-email-sequence-planner/SKILL.md - Start (or restart) Claude Code — the skills will be available automatically in any project.
B) Single-project level
Copy the same folders into <your-project>/.claude/skills/ instead, if
you only want them in one project.
Using with claude.ai / Claude Desktop
- Open Settings.
- Find the Capabilities or Skills section.
- Upload each skill's
SKILL.mdfile (or its whole folder). - The skill triggers automatically when you ask something matching its description.
Using with ChatGPT
ChatGPT doesn't have a "Skills" system, but each SKILL.md file works
just as well as ChatGPT instructions — the part below the ---
frontmatter is plain instruction text.
As a Custom GPT (ChatGPT Plus/Team — stays saved for reuse):
- Go to Explore GPTs → Create → Configure.
- Give it a name (e.g., "Cold Outreach Writer") and a short description.
- Open the skill's
SKILL.mdfile, copy everything below the---frontmatter block, and paste it into the Instructions field. - Save. Reopen this GPT any time you need that skill.
Without Custom GPT access (works on any ChatGPT plan): Paste the same instructions (below the frontmatter) at the start of a new chat, then ask your question. You'll need to re-paste it each time you start a new chat.
How to check it's working
After installing, ask Claude something that clearly matches one skill, for example:
"Write a cold outreach email to a Head of Marketing at an ecommerce brand, offering our email automation tool."
If the skill triggered correctly, the answer will follow the
cold-outreach-email-writer structure (specific opener, short body, a
low-friction ask, under 120 words).
Common issues
- The skill doesn't trigger — check that the
SKILL.mdfile is inside a folder, not dropped directly into.claude/skills/. - Changes aren't showing up — restart your Claude Code session after editing a file.
- Output feels generic — the more specific context you give (actual prospect details, what actually happened on the call), the more specific and useful the output will be.
