What is a Claude Code skill?

A skill is a specialized capability that provides domain-specific guidance, best practices, and implementation patterns to enhance Claude's performance in specific coding tasks.

What is the difference between User and Project skills?

User skills are installed in your home directory (~/.claude/skills/) and available in all projects. Project skills are installed locally (.claude/skills/) and are specific to that repository, often shared via version control.

Does this skill handle Python dependencies?

Yes, after installation, the manager automatically checks for a requirements.txt file within the skill folder and runs the necessary pip installation commands.

Where can I install skills from?

You can install skills from full GitHub repositories, specific subdirectories within a repository using the tree/branch/path format, or direct .skill zip file URLs.

Do I need to restart Claude after modifying skills?

Yes, you should always restart Claude Code after installing, updating, or removing a skill to ensure the changes are correctly indexed and active.
