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.

Overview

A collection of plugins that extend Claude's capabilities. Supports two plugin types:

•Skills: SKILL.md-based plugins with workflows, domain knowledge, and bundled resources
•MCPs: Model Context Protocol servers that provide tools for Claude Desktop

Plugin Types

Skills

Skills provide workflows, procedures, and domain knowledge that Claude loads based on context. Each skill has:

•SKILL.md: Manifest with frontmatter (name, description) and instructions
•scripts/: Optional executable code
•references/: Optional documentation
•assets/: Optional files for output (templates, images)

MCPs (Model Context Protocol)

MCPs provide tools that are always available in Claude Desktop. Each MCP has:

•.claude-plugin/plugin.json: Manifest with name, description, and server configuration
•server.py: MCP server implementation
•config.json: Optional configuration

Quick Start

Create a New Plugin

bash

# Create a skill
python tools/init_plugin.py skill my-skill --path skills

# Create an MCP
python tools/init_plugin.py mcp my-mcp --path mcps

Package a Plugin

bash

python tools/package_plugin.py skills/my-skill
# Creates: my-skill.plugin

Install an MCP

bash

# From packaged file
python tools/install_mcp.py dist/session-memory.plugin

# From directory (symlink for development)
python tools/install_mcp.py mcps/session-memory --symlink

Then add to Claude Desktop config (~/.config/claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "session-memory": {
      "command": "python3",
      "args": ["~/.claude/session-memory/server.py"]
    }
  }
}
