Skills are instructions that tell Claude how to perform specific types of analysis on your project. They are created and managed by Claude on your behalf.

​
How Skills Work

When you ask Claude to perform a recurring type of analysis, it can save those instructions as a skill. The next time you or a team member needs the same analysis, Claude already knows how to do it.

​
Examples

  • “Create a skill for reviewing employment contracts” — Claude saves a checklist of what to look for in employment agreements.
  • “Create a skill for summarizing damages” — Claude saves instructions for identifying and categorizing damages across documents.
  • “Create a skill for building case timelines” — Claude saves a structured approach to extracting and ordering key events.

​
Creating Skills

Ask Claude to create a skill whenever you find yourself repeating the same type of request. For example, “create a skill that checks contracts for termination clauses and summarizes the key terms.” Claude creates the skill, and you can view all skills on your project’s Skills page.

​
Editing Skills

You can ask Claude to update a skill if your needs change. For example, “update the contract review skill to also check for non-compete clauses.”
