This page goes deeper on everything from the Try It Tonight section of Issue #3. You have the prompt. This is where you learn how to save it.


🧠 What Is a Skill, Again?

A skill is a saved prompt you trigger on demand. You write it once. Claude applies it every time.

Think of it like a labeled Post-it you keep in a drawer. You don't tape it to your screen permanently. You grab it when you need it.


💾 How to Save a Skill in Claude

Step 1: Open Claude at claude.ai

Step 2: Start a new conversation

Step 3: Paste your skill at the very top of the conversation, before you type anything else. This is called priming the conversation.

Step 4: Then type your request underneath. Example:

[paste your brand voice skill here]

Now edit this paragraph for me: [paste your text]

Want to save it permanently?

Go to Settings > Custom Instructions and paste your skill there. It will apply to every conversation automatically.

Or create a Claude Project (covered in Issue #2) and paste your skill into the Project Instructions. It will apply to everything inside that project.
