&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Skills&lt;/strong&gt; are markdown files (SKILL.md) that give Claude Code specialized expertise in specific domains. When you install a skill, Claude automatically activates it when your task matches the skill&amp;rsquo;s trigger conditions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For example:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Install the &lt;strong&gt;Homepage Audit&lt;/strong&gt; skill → Claude can systematically score and improve your landing pages&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Install the &lt;strong&gt;STRIDE Analysis&lt;/strong&gt; skill → Claude can perform structured threat modeling&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Install the &lt;strong&gt;SEO Optimizer&lt;/strong&gt; skill → Claude can audit your content for search ranking improvements&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2 id="how-skills-work"&gt;How Skills Work&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You install&lt;/strong&gt; a SKILL.md file to &lt;code&gt;~/.claude/skills/&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Claude detects&lt;/strong&gt; the skill automatically on startup&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When relevant&lt;/strong&gt;, Claude applies the skill&amp;rsquo;s specialized knowledge&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No configuration needed&lt;/strong&gt; — skills are plug-and-play&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;h2 id="skill-quality-varies"&gt;Skill Quality Varies&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are 31,700+ skills on GitHub, but quality varies enormously. Some are well-crafted frameworks from major open source projects (Next.js, PyTorch, Electron). Others are auto-generated stubs with no real content.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
