Create your own Skill in Claude

Custom Skills let you teach Claude to perform specialized tasks exactly the way you need them done. This tutorial walks you through the complete process of creating your first Skill using Claude's built-in skill-creator.

You'll learn how to invoke the skill-creator, describe what you want your Skill to do, and save it to your Skills library. Once created, you'll discover two convenient ways to use your new Skill: selecting it from your Skills list or calling it directly with a slash command.

By the end of this tutorial, you'll be able to create custom Skills that automate repetitive tasks, apply consistent formatting, or perform specialized analysis — making Claude work exactly how you need it to.
