Step-by-step guide
How to install your skill in Claude
You've downloaded your ZIP from SkillCreator. Installing it is just a matter of copying a folder to the right place. Here's how, for Claude Code and every operating system.
Step 1 · Unzip the ZIP
Double-click (or right-click → «Extract all») the file you downloaded. You'll get a folder named after your skill, for example email-writer, containing the SKILL.md file and a LEEME-instalar.txt guide.
Step 2 · Copy the folder to the skills location
Claude looks for skills in a specific folder. You have two options:
Option A · For all your projects (recommended)
Windows: C:\Users\YOUR_USER\.claude\skills\ Mac/Linux: ~/.claude/skills/
The result should look like: ~/.claude/skills/email-writer/SKILL.md.
Option B · For one project only
your-project-folder/.claude/skills/email-writer/
Step 3 · Restart Claude
Close and reopen Claude (or start a new conversation). It will detect the skill automatically.
Step 4 · Check it works
- Automatic: ask for something that matches your skill's description.
- Manual: you can call it by name if your version of Claude supports it.
Not triggering? Check this
- The folder must contain the file named exactly
SKILL.md(uppercase). - The path must be
skills/your-skill-name/SKILL.md, with no extra folders. - If it doesn't trigger on its own, it's almost always an unclear description.
