Frequently Asked Questions — Claude Skills

What is a Claude Skill? A Claude Skill is a .md file you upload to a Claude Project. It gives Claude a defined role, a task menu, prompt templates, and behavioral instructions — so every conversation inside that Project starts with Claude already configured as your specialist assistant. No setup, no re-explaining yourself every session.

What do I need to use a Claude Skill? You need a Claude account with Pro plan ($20/month) at claude.ai. The Projects feature — where you upload the skill — is only available on Pro and above. Free accounts do not have access to Projects.

How do I install the skill?

1. Go to claude.ai and click Projects in the left sidebar
2. Create a New Project
3. Inside the project, click Add content and upload the .md file
4. Start chatting — Claude is now configured as your specialist assistant

That's it. You only do this once per skill.

Does the skill work forever once uploaded? Yes. As long as the file is in your Project, Claude reads it at the start of every conversation. You never have to re-upload or re-configure it.

Can I use the skill on mobile? Yes. The Claude mobile app (iOS and Android) supports Projects. Upload the skill once on desktop and access it from any device.

Do I need any technical knowledge to use this? None at all. If you can attach a file to an email, you can install a Claude Skill. The entire setup takes under two minutes.

Will Claude follow the skill instructions exactly? Claude reads the skill file as its operating instructions for that Project. It will follow the role, task menu, and behavioral rules defined in the file consistently across all conversations. For best results, use the prompt templates included in each skill.

Can I customize the skill after purchasing? Yes. The .md file is a plain text file. You can open it in any text editor (Notepad, Word, Google Docs) and edit it — add your firm name, adjust task descriptions, add new prompts, or remove sections you don't need.

Is my data private when using Claude with a skill? Your conversations in Claude Projects are subject to Anthropic's standard privacy policy. The skill file itself sits in your Project and is only visible to you. No one else has access to your conversations.

Can I share the skill with my team? Each skill is licensed for individual use. If your team members each have their own Claude Pro accounts, they can each purchase and install their own copy. Sharing or redistributing the file is not permitted under the license terms.

What is the difference between a Claude Skill and a regular Claude conversation? In a regular conversation, Claude starts fresh every time with no context about who you are or what you do. With a Claude Skill installed in a Project, Claude starts every conversation already knowing your role, your task menu, your preferred output formats, and the specialist knowledge relevant to your profession. It is the difference between a generic AI assistant and a trained specialist.

Does the skill replace my legal / financial / professional judgment? No — and it is not designed to. Every skill includes a professional responsibility reminder. Claude produces drafts, frameworks, analyses, and research to save you time. You review, verify, and approve everything before it goes to clients, courts, or regulators. The skill makes you faster — your expertise makes the work trustworthy.

What if Claude produces something inaccurate? Claude flags uncertain facts, unverified citations, and areas requiring your review with [VERIFY] markers throughout its output. Always treat Claude's output as a first draft that requires your professional review — not a final product.

Can I use the skill with Claude's free plan? No. The Projects feature required to upload and use skill files is only available on Claude Pro ($20/month) or higher. The skill will not function without a Pro account.

What format is the skill file in? The file is a standard .md (Markdown) file. It opens in any text editor and renders cleanly inside Claude Projects. No special software is required.
