System Documentation

What problem does it solves? This Skill empowers you to build specialized, reusable AI capabilities for Claude, eliminating repetitive instructions and streamlining complex workflows. It transforms Claude from a generalist into a domain-specific expert tailored to your needs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured Skill Creation: Learn to define Skills with YAML metadata and Markdown instructions for clear, discoverable functionality.
  • Progressive Disclosure: Organize complex knowledge into modular files, ensuring Claude loads only relevant information on demand, optimizing context usage.
  • Use Case: Create a "PDF Text Extraction" Skill that Claude can automatically invoke whenever you mention "PDF" or "text extraction," providing specific Python code snippets for the task.

Quick Start

  1. Create a directory for your skill, e.g., ~/.claude/skills/my-pdf-skill/

  2. Inside, create SKILL.md with frontmatter and instructions:

    name: PDF Text Extraction description: Extract text from PDFs. Use when working with PDF files or text extraction.

    PDF Text Extraction

    Quick start

    import pdfplumber with pdfplumber.open("file.pdf") as pdf: text = pdf.pages[0].extract_text()
  3. Test by mentioning "PDF" or "text extraction" to Claude.
