What Are Claude Skills?

A Claude Skill is a reusable prompt package with YAML frontmatter + Markdown body, following the Anthropic Skills v1.0 framework. Unlike a plain text prompt, a Skill has:

• Structured name + description so Claude knows when to invoke it
• allowed-tools so Claude knows which tools it may use
• Version + license for provenance and reuse
• Example invocation so you know how to call it

5 Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is a Claude Skill?

A Claude Skill is a reusable instruction package with YAML frontmatter + Markdown body, defined by Anthropic’s Skills framework. It encodes when to invoke the skill, which tools Claude may use, and what output format to produce. Skills are stored as .skill.md files inside a Claude Project.

Q2: How do I install a Skill in Claude Projects?

Open Claude Projects → Settings → Skills → click Import → paste the .skill.md content (or drag the downloaded file). The skill becomes available in the project’s skill library. Alternatively, use the Share URL feature: open the gallery link with #skill=<slug>, copy the content, and paste into your project’s skill panel.

Q3: What’s the difference between Claude Skills and Custom GPTs?

Claude Skills use Anthropic’s native YAML + Markdown framework with tool restrictions, version fields, and a formal invocation model. Custom GPTs (OpenAI) use a visual builder with no standardized skill format and no tool restrictions comparable to Claude’s allowed-tools. Skills are designed for developers; Custom GPTs target end-users.

Q4: What fields are required in a Claude Skill’s YAML?

Only two are required: name (lowercase slug, ≤64 chars) and description (when to invoke). Optional fields include allowed-tools (list), version (semver), and license (string). The Markdown body after the --- separator is free-form and defines the skill’s actual instructions.

Q5: Can I share a Claude Skill between Projects?

Yes. Export by downloading the .skill.md file or using the Share URL hash. Import by pasting the content into any other Claude Project. There is no centralized shared skill library — skills live in individual projects. Use the Share URL hash (#skill=<id>) for zero-server sharing.
