Claude has introduced a new feature called Skills, which enhances its ability to perform specialized tasks by incorporating instructions, scripts, and resources into folders accessible when needed. These Skills are designed to improve efficiency and expertise in tasks like Excel management or adhering to brand guidelines, and they can be created and customized by users for use across Claude apps, Claude Code, and via API. Skills are composable, portable, efficient, and powerful, allowing for stacking, consistent formatting across platforms, minimal resource loading, and the inclusion of executable code. The feature is available to Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise users and can be managed through the Claude Developer Platform. Skills can transform files into presentations, spreadsheets, and documents that align with organizational standards, providing significant time savings and enhancing workflows. Users can create Skills easily with interactive guidance, and they are automatically invoked by Claude as needed, reducing the need for manual selection. Future developments aim to simplify skill creation and enterprise deployment, with an emphasis on security by recommending the use of trusted sources to maintain data safety.
