Claude Skills: The Field Guide

What Claude Skills are, the prebuilt ones to switch on right now, and how to build your own.

If you use Claude on the web or the Desktop app, Skills are the upgrade you didn't know you needed.

This is the guide I wish I'd had on day one: what Skills actually are, the prebuilt Anthropic ones you can switch on in 60 seconds, how to browse the official directory, how to upload your own, and the partner skills built for the apps you already use (Notion, Figma, Atlassian, and more).

Inside the guide:

The four ways to use Skills on Web and Desktop

Anthropic's prebuilt skills (pptx, docx, xlsx, pdf, canvas-design, brand-guidelines, algorithmic-art, skill-creator) and exactly when each one fires

Eight copy-paste recipe files: from a 60-second orientation primer to a production-quality bar checklist

Partner skill packs for Notion, Figma, and Atlassian

10 custom skills worth building for yourself
