What are Claude skills?

Skills are modular instruction sets that extend Claude's capabilities for specialized tasks. Each skill contains domain-specific knowledge, workflows, templates, and best practices that Claude loads automatically when relevant to your work.

Installation

**Prerequisite:** You need [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/overview) installed. Run `claude --version` in your terminal to check.

Plugins give you slash commands you can run directly inside Claude Code. Run these two commands in your terminal:
