Reuse a small method
Choose a recurring task. It can be a writing method, a review checklist, an analysis method, or a visual brief.
- Check that code execution is on in Settings, Capabilities. Skills need it.
- Describe when the method should apply, its inputs, its steps, its output, and its limits.
- Ask Claude to draft the Skill as a SKILL.md file with a name and a description.
- Read the method before you save it. Remove any rule you do not want.
- Put SKILL.md in a folder with the same name as the Skill. Zip the folder.
- Upload the zip in Customize, Skills. Turn the Skill on.
- Run a normal request and a missing-input request.
- Improve one rule and repeat the failed test.
Optional request: “Help me create a Skill for turning short notes into an action list. Keep supplied facts. Use Not provided for missing owners or dates. Return a table and a short list of gaps. Write it as a SKILL.md file.”
Optional sample Skill. This file is a workshop example, not an installed Skill. You may choose a different method.
If Skills are unavailable, paste the method as instructions in a Project and test it there. Mark Skill upload as NOT TESTED.
