Skills let you teach Claude new abilities. They are like instruction manuals that give Claude specialized knowledge and step-by-step workflows. This guide shows you how to create your own skills.
The key is to keep skills short and focused. Only add information Claude does not already know. The context window is shared with everything else. Every word costs tokens, so be concise.
You will learn about the parts of a skill. Every skill needs a SKILL.md file with a name and description. You can also add scripts, references, and assets. The goal is to make Claude a specialist in your domain.
