From zero to running your first skill in under 10 minutes.
Five short steps. Each has a video. If anything trips you up, the support button at the bottom of the page reaches a real human.
What are skills?
A skill is a structured workflow Claude knows how to run. Where a prompt is one message, a skill is the entire procedure — interview, output template, hand-off rules — wrapped together.
You invoke a skill with a slash command from any Claude conversation: type /skill-name, answer the questions, and Claude returns a complete artifact. The skill is yours after install — re-run it as many times as you like.

What are Claude skills? (2 min overview)

Install on Claude.ai
Open Claude.ai in a desktop browser and go to Settings → Features → Skills. Click 'Upload a skill', pick the ZIP you got from your portal, and confirm. The skill installs globally — every conversation you start has access to it from then on.
Skills are versioned. When we ship an update we email you; re-upload the new ZIP and Claude swaps the old one out.
Use a desktop browser to install.
Claude.ai mobile doesn't expose the Skills upload UI yet. You only need desktop once — after install, you can invoke the skill from any device.
On Claude Team? Your admin enables Features.
Skills install per-account on Claude Pro/Max. On Claude Team plans, the workspace admin needs to turn on Features → Skills before personal accounts can upload.

Install on ChatGPT (optional)
Most of our skills also ship as ChatGPT 'Custom GPTs' — same workflow, slightly different syntax. If your team is on ChatGPT, open the same ZIP, copy the system prompt into a new Custom GPT, and paste the resources folder into the knowledge tab.
If you mainly use Claude, skip this step — every skill is built Claude-first.
Claude vs ChatGPT — slight syntax differences.
Claude reads the skill's Skill.md as the system instruction. ChatGPT Custom GPTs use the same prompt as 'Instructions', and you paste the resources/ contents into the Knowledge tab.

Turn on code execution
A few skills (the ones that read your data or render documents) need Claude's code execution toggle enabled. Settings → Features → Code execution → on. It's free, and it stays on per workspace.
If a skill needs code execution, it'll say so in its catalogue page. Most marketing skills don't — they're conversational from end to end.

Onboarding clip
Run your first skill
Open a Claude Project (this is important — Projects are how skills remember outputs between sessions) and start a new conversation. Type /brand-guide (or whichever skill you installed) and press enter. Claude takes it from there — answer the interview, save the result, you're done.
Subsequent skills look at the Project knowledge for the brand guide automatically. That's the magic of the stack: one foundation, every downstream skill uses it.
