This guide explains how to create custom "Skills" for Claude Code, which are essentially folders containing a SKILL.md file. These Skills allow users to pre-define repeatable tasks or knowledge, such as API conventions, that Claude Code can automatically load and apply during a coding session. The process can be automated by instructing Claude Code itself to create the necessary folder structure and SKILL.md file, or done manually in about five minutes. AI
