How to share a Claude skill

Turn your skill's SKILL.md into a one-line install command anyone can paste — no GitHub repo, no marketplace listing.

How to share Claude skills in four steps

Find your SKILL.md. Your skill is one file: ~/.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md. That's all you need.
Paste it into Quick Share. Or paste a GitHub link to it. We host it at a private, unguessable link.
Copy the one-line install command. Quick Share turns your skill into one command, instantly.
Send it to anyone. They paste it and your skill installs in seconds — no account needed on their end.

A real example

We ran this exact flow with a small changelog-writer skill. Skills follow Anthropic's official Agent Skills format — YAML frontmatter plus instructions. Here's the file we pasted into Quick Share:

---
name: changelog-writer
description: Use when turning a range of git commits into a clean,
  grouped CHANGELOG entry (Added / Fixed / Changed / Removed).
---

# Changelog Writer

When the user asks for a changelog from git history:
1. Get the commits with `git log <range> --pretty=format:'%s'`…
2. Group into Added / Fixed / Changed / Removed…

Quick Share screened it, hosted it at a private link, and returned this install command (token shortened for the example):

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/changelog-writer && curl -fsSL \
  https://augmentclaude.com/skills/8904ba12…/SKILL.md \
  -o ~/.claude/skills/changelog-writer/SKILL.md

The recipient pastes that, restarts Claude Code, and the skill activates whenever they ask for a changelog. Notice the folder name stays readable while the hosting URL is an unguessable token.

Common questions

What's the easiest way to share a Claude skill?

Use Quick Share: paste your SKILL.md and copy the one-line install command it gives you. Send that command to anyone and they install your skill in seconds — no GitHub repo or marketplace listing required.

How do I share a Claude skill without GitHub?

Paste the SKILL.md straight into Quick Share and we host it for you at a private link — you don't need a repo, a gist, or any account beyond a free sign-in. This is the main reason Quick Share exists.

Can I share multiple Claude skills at once?

Each SKILL.md gets its own private link and install command — run Quick Share once per skill. If you want to hand someone a whole set of skills in one paste, submit them to the catalog and share a bundle instead.

How do I share a skill privately, without listing it publicly?

Quick Share hosts your skill at a private, unguessable URL — only people you send the command to can install it, and it never appears in the public catalog. If you'd rather make it public, use Submit instead.

How do I let someone install my skill in one command?

Share the one-line command Quick Share generates. It's a mkdir + curl that downloads your SKILL.md into ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ — the same one-paste install every skill on AugmentClaude uses.

What's the difference between sharing and submitting a skill?

Sharing (Quick Share) gives you a private link to send to specific people; nothing is listed. Submitting (Submit) publishes your skill to the public AugmentClaude catalog so anyone can discover and install it. Both are free.

What file format can I share?

A single SKILL.md (Markdown) — frontmatter plus instructions. If you share via a GitHub link it must point to a .md file. Folders, zips, and other file types aren't supported.

Does the install command work on Windows?

The one-liner is written for macOS/Linux shells. On Windows, run it inside WSL or Git Bash — or in PowerShell, create the folder and download the SKILL.md with curl.exe. Either way the skill ends up in your user profile's .claude/skills folder and Claude Code picks it up on restart.
