## What Are These Skills?

Claude Skills are reusable, specialised procedures that teach Claude your exact workflows. Instead of re-explaining your PRD format or meeting notes structure every time, you create a Skill once and Claude automatically applies it whenever relevant.

Think of Skills as "onboarding guides" for Claude — they package your best practices, templates, and processes so Claude consistently delivers outputs the way you want them.

---

## 🎯 Who Is This For?

- **Product Managers** looking to automate repetitive documentation tasks
- **PM Teams** wanting to standardise processes and share best practices
- **Anyone** tired of reformatting Claude's outputs to match their standards

---

## ⚡ Quick Start (5 Minutes)

1. **Prerequisites:** Claude Pro, Team, or Enterprise account
2. **Enable Code Execution:** Settings → Features → Enable "Code Execution and File Creation"
3. **Install your first skill:**
   - Download a skill folder (e.g. `skills/prd-template`)
   - Zip the folder contents, rename `.zip` → `.skill`
   - Go to claude.ai → Settings → Skills → Upload Skill
4. **Try it:** "Help me write a PRD for a mobile app onboarding feature"

That's it. Claude now knows your format.
