Claude Skills save a repeatable method for one kind of job, so you do not have to paste the same instructions into every new conversation.
Open Claude’s Skills settings
Open Customize, select Skills, and choose a built-in skill or upload your own.
Enable code execution
Turn on code execution and file creation so Claude can use the instructions and supporting files inside a skill.
Choose a built-in skill or upload your own
A custom skill is a folder centered on a SKILL.md file that tells Claude when and how to handle a specific job.
Use Claude normally
Ask for the job in plain language. Claude can recognize when an enabled skill fits and use it without requiring a special command.
