Claude Code

Claude Code is Anthropic's coding agent and a native SKILL.md runtime: Skillet writes one folder per skill, and Claude Code finds it on its own.

Note Support status: Supported. Last verified June 13, 2026.

Where skills live

Skillet writes to the global skills folder:

~/.claude/skills/

Same path on macOS, Linux, and Windows. Claude Code reads skill descriptions at startup and loads a skill's full SKILL.md when your task matches. Nothing is injected up front, and there's no import step.

Layout

Each skill is its own folder containing a SKILL.md. Skillet names the folder for the author and skill:

~/.claude/skills/
  @taylor--festival-ops/
    SKILL.md
    ...supporting files

Connect Skillet

Install the app if you're new to Skillet: it detects Claude Code for you. To set up from the terminal instead:

npx skilletmd
# or: npm install -g skilletmd && skillet

On first run, Skillet detects ~/.claude/ and offers to import the skills already there. After skillet add or skillet sync, your next Claude Code session picks up the change. No restart needed.

Common commands

skillet add @author/skill     # Add a skill to your kit and write it here
skillet list                  # List your kit's skills, grouped by kit
skillet sync                  # Write your kit into Claude Code and every detected runtime
skillet scan                  # Show the scan state of your kit's skills

Updates from other people are scanned, not certified, and a human approves each one before it lands.
