Anthropic Issued ‘Skills for Claude’, a Tool to Save Time When Writing Prompts

IBL News | New York

Anthropic this month announced Skills for Claude, a tool that loads folders containing instructions, scripts, and resources that follow the organization’s brand guidelines.

People can also build their own Skills for Claude relative to their specific jobs and use them across Claude.ai, Claude Code, Anthropic’s API, and the Claude Agent SDK.

Box, Rakuten, and Canva have already used the tool, according to Anthropic’s press release.

Essentially, it seeks to prevent the user from spending much time writing the perfect prompt or referring to past context each time he or she tries to accomplish a task.

Brad Abrams, a product lead at Anthropic, explained, “Skills provides organizations building agents a way to teach Claude to do a good job in their specific context.”
