Claude skills: folders of instructions, scripts, and resources
Skills are folders of instructions, scripts, and resources that Claude loads dynamically for specialized tasks. They teach Claude to complete specific tasks in a repeatable way.
- Each skill is self-contained in one folder with a
SKILL.mdfile holding instructions and metadata. - Examples range from art, music, and design to web app testing, MCP server generation, and enterprise workflows.
- Many skills are Apache 2.0, including the document creation and editing skills.
