What are Claude Code Skills?

Claude Code Skills are reusable prompt templates stored as markdown files in your project's .claude/skills/ directory. They let you codify best practices and common workflows into slash commands that Claude follows consistently.

How do I create a Claude Code Skill?

Create a markdown file in .claude/skills/ with instructions for Claude. The filename becomes the command name — for example, .claude/skills/code-review.md can be invoked with /code-review during a Claude Code session.

Can I share skills with my team?

Yes. Skills stored in .claude/skills/ can be committed to version control so every team member has access to the same standardized workflows. You can also organize skills into subdirectories by category.

What is the difference between project and global skills?

Project skills (.claude/skills/) are specific to the current project and are committed to git. Global skills (~/.claude/skills/) are personal skills available across all your projects.

Use for anything AI/agent/conversational built on Algolia: algobot CLI, Agent Studio, RAG systems, conversational product discovery, genAI content generation from search results (carousels, descriptions, headers), chatbots or recommendation agents using Algolia as retrieval, config-as-code workflows, multi-environment deploy (dev/staging/prod), memory and personalization, MCP tool integrations, conversation history / GDPR retention, or adding a chat widget alongside InstantSearch. Do NOT use for raw index ops (records, synonyms, settings) â use algolia-cli. Do NOT use for pure frontend search UI (InstantSearch, autocomplete) with no AI/agent layer.
