# Skills

> Reusable instructions that tell Claude how to analyze your project

**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."
