A repeatable workflow Claude runs the same way every time. Seven steps. One decision at the end: ship it as a Skill or as a Project.
A skill is a repeatable workflow that Claude runs the same way every single time. Same input shape, same output shape. You build it once, your team uses it for years.
A finished skill that delivers the same quality every run. Packaged either as a local Claude Code skill (for power use with files and automations) or as a shared Project inside Claude Teams (for browser use across the team). Same build, different wrapper.
skill-creator is Anthropic's official skill for building skills. It walks you through all seven steps. If you have it active, every step on the next pages just works with a one-line prompt.
Get it from github.com/anthropics/skills or via the Claude Code plugin marketplace.
# Option 1 — Plugin marketplace /plugin # Then search for "skill-creator" and install. # Option 2 — Manual clone git clone https://github.com/anthropics/skills.git ~/anthropic-skills cp -r ~/anthropic-skills/skill-creator ~/.claude/skills/ # Verify it's there ls ~/.claude/skills/skill-creator/SKILL.md
Settings → Capabilities → Skills → import skill-creator from github.com/anthropics/skills Once it's in your Teams workspace, every team member gets it automatically in all their chats.
