Claude Guides & Skills
Skills that make Claude do one thing reliably, packs that cover a whole job, and guides written by people who use it all day.
Skills and know-how for Claude
A skill here is a folder Claude can pick up and follow: a SKILL.md with when-to-use rules and a procedure, supporting references, an install readme and a test checklist of the prompts it was verified against. Skill packs group three to eight of them around one job — research, meeting notes, spreadsheet analysis. Guides are short and single-topic; handbooks run to a hundred pages and ship as PDF plus the Markdown source, so they can be searched, quoted and kept current.
How to choose
- One repeated task that keeps going wrong: a single skill.
- A whole workflow: a skill pack.
- Understanding first, tools second: a guide or handbook.
Install
Skills drop into a Claude Code project's skills folder or upload straight into Claude.ai; the readme in every zip shows both. Guides and handbooks open anywhere a PDF does.
