Skills let you package reusable instructions, scripts, and executable code that Claude can load on demand across the Claude app, Claude Code, and the API, giving agentic engineers a standardized way to ship specialized capabilities instead of re-prompting from scratch each time.
“Skills are folders that include instructions, scripts, and resources that Claude can load when needed.”
“When one matches, it loads only the minimal information and files needed—keeping Claude fast while accessing specialized expertise.”
“Skills can include executable code for tasks where traditional programming is more reliable than token generation.”
“Think of Skills as custom onboarding materials that let you package expertise, making Claude a specialist on what matters most to you.”
