Claude Code Skills

Claude Code skills: what to check before installation.

Skills for design, documents, research, browser work, and engineering. Open the repository and read the package before adding it to Claude Code.

Review checklist

Check the package before installing.

Keep personal skills in your user-level skills folder and project-specific skills with the repository.

Read trigger descriptions closely: overlapping skills can load unnecessary context or give conflicting instructions.

Treat scripts inside a skill like any other dependency—review them before execution.

Read SKILL.md

Check the trigger, workflow, required tools, and expected outputs.

Inspect scripts

Look for network access, filesystem changes, credentials, and destructive commands.

Install narrowly

Choose project or personal scope intentionally and avoid overlapping skills.
