How to install Claude skills

Installing a Claude Code skill takes one terminal command and about 60 seconds: copy the install command from the skill page, paste it into your terminal, and restart Claude Code. The skill then activates automatically whenever it's relevant.

The four steps

  1. 1. Find a skill

    Browse AugmentClaude by industry or search for what you need — e.g. "code review", "SEO", "spreadsheets". Every listing shows what the skill does, who made it, and its license.

  2. 2. Copy the install command

    Each skill page has a one-line install command. It downloads the skill's SKILL.md from the author's GitHub into ~/.claude/skills/<skill-name>/ on your machine.

  3. 3. Paste it into your terminal

    Run the command in any terminal (macOS, Windows, or Linux). It only creates a folder and downloads one markdown file — you can read exactly what it does before running it.

  4. 4. Restart Claude Code

    Claude Code loads skills on startup. After restarting, the skill activates automatically whenever your request matches its description — no further setup.

A typical install command looks like: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/<name> && curl -fsSL <raw-skill-url> -o ~/.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md

Common questions

Where do Claude skills get installed?

In ~/.claude/skills/ in your home directory. Each skill is its own folder containing a SKILL.md file. Project-specific skills can also live in .claude/skills/ inside a repo.

How do I uninstall a Claude skill?

Delete its folder from ~/.claude/skills/ and restart Claude Code. Skills are plain files — there's nothing else to clean up.

How do I install several skills at once?

Use a bundle. AugmentClaude's curated bundles pack the best skills for a job — web design, data engineering, marketing — into a single paste-able command.

Are Claude skills safe to install?

A skill is a readable markdown file, not an executable — you can open the SKILL.md and read every instruction before installing. On AugmentClaude every skill links to its source on GitHub with author attribution and license.

Do skills work in the Claude app (claude.ai)?

claude.ai supports skills too, via Settings → Capabilities, where you upload a skill as a zip. The one-command installs on AugmentClaude target Claude Code, the terminal app.
