How to Install a Skill
Skills go in ~/.claude/skills/. Each skill gets its own directory containing a SKILL.md file.
# Create the skills directory if it doesn't exist
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
# Clone or copy a skill
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/morning-brief
# Then add your SKILL.md fileThe five skills in this guide are all published at github.com/aplaceforallmystuff. You can clone the whole repository or copy individual skill files.
To invoke a skill once it’s installed, type the skill name with a leading slash in any Claude Code session:
/morning-brief
/log-to-daily
/think-firstClaude will read the file and execute it. If the skill has user-invocable: true in its frontmatter, Claude Code’s autocomplete will also suggest it as you type.
