Part E — Skills to give Claude Code

Claude Code can load extra instruction packs called skills that make it better at specific kinds of work. These are just files — installing one means downloading it into a folder on your laptop.

Global skills (installed to ~/.claude/skills/) are available in every project you ever work on. Worth having for any website build:

  • frontend-design — guidance for making a site look distinctive and intentional rather than like a generic template.
  • ui-ux-pro-max — a searchable database of design styles, color palettes, font pairings, and UX guidelines.

To install any skill from Anthropic's official collection (browse them at github.com/anthropics/skills), just tell Claude Code:

"Install this skill globally: <paste the GitHub URL>"

and it'll fetch the files into ~/.claude/skills/ for you.
