Anthropic 推出了 Claude 技能，这项新功能旨在通过允许用户将专业知识、指令、脚本和资源打包到“技能包”中，来增强 Claude 在特定任务中的性能。当任务相关时，Claude 会智能地加载这些技能，从而确保效率和速度。“技能”的主要特点包括可组合性（可堆叠组合）、可移植性（一次构建，随处使用）、效率（仅加载所需内容）和强大性（支持可执行代码以实现可靠的任务执行）。“技能”可在 Claude 应用（Pro、Max、Team、Enterprise 层级）、Claude 开发者平台 (API) 和 Claude 代码中使用。对于开发者，新的“/v1/skills”API 端点提供了对技能管理的编程控制，需要代码执行工具 Beta 版。Anthropic 提供用于常见任务的预构建技能，例如创建 Excel、PowerPoint 和 Word 文档，同时用户还可以创建自定义技能，通常由“技能创建 AI”指导。来自 Box、Notion、Canva 和 Rakuten 的评价突出了实际好处，例如转换文件、无缝集成、定制代理和简化会计工作流程。文章强调了简化技能创建和企业级部署的未来潜力，同时也提出了关于可执行代码的安全影响的警告。
Claude can now use Skills to improve how it performs specific tasks. Skills are folders that include instructions, scripts, and resources that Claude can load when needed.
Claude will only access a skill when it's relevant to the task at hand. When used, skills make Claude better at specialized tasks like working with Excel or following your organization's brand guidelines.
You've already seen Skills at work in Claude apps, where Claude uses them to create files like spreadsheets and presentations. Now, you can build your own skills and use them across Claude apps, Claude Code, and our API.
How Skills work
While working on tasks, Claude scans available skills to find relevant matches. When one matches, it loads only the minimal information and files needed—keeping Claude fast while accessing specialized expertise.
Skills are:
- Composable: Skills stack together. Claude automatically identifies which skills are needed and coordinates their use.
- Portable: Skills use the same format everywhere. Build once, use across Claude apps, Claude Code, and API.
- Efficient: Only loads what's needed, when it's needed.
- Powerful: Skills can include executable code for tasks where traditional programming is more reliable than token generation.
Think of Skills as custom onboarding materials that let you package expertise, making Claude a specialist on what matters most to you. For a technical deep-dive on the Agent Skills design pattern, architecture, and development best practices, read our engineering blog.
Skills work with every Claude product
Claude apps
Skills are available to Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise users. We provide skills for common tasks like document creation, examples you can customize, and the ability to create your own custom skills.
Claude automatically invokes relevant skills based on your task—no manual selection needed. You'll even see skills in Claude's chain of thought as it works.
Creating skills is simple. The "skill-creator" skill provides interactive guidance: Claude asks about your workflow, generates the folder structure, formats the SKILL.md file, and bundles the resources you need. No manual file editing required.
Enable Skills in Settings. For Team and Enterprise users, admins must first enable Skills organization-wide.
Claude Developer Platform (API)
Agent Skills, which we often refer to simply as Skills, can now be added to Messages API requests and the new /v1/skills endpoint gives developers programmatic control over custom skill versioning and management. Skills require the Code Execution Tool beta, which provides the secure environment they need to run.
Use Anthropic-created skills to have Claude read and generate professional Excel spreadsheets with formulas, PowerPoint presentations, Word documents, and fillable PDFs. Developers can create custom Skills to extend Claude's capabilities for their specific use cases.
Developers can also easily create, view, and upgrade skill versions through the Claude Console.
Explore the documentation or Anthropic Academy to learn more.
Skills teaches Claude how to work with Box content. Users can transform stored files into PowerPoint presentations, Excel spreadsheets, and Word documents that follow their organization's standards—saving hours of effort.
With Skills, Claude works seamlessly with Notion - taking users from questions to action faster. Less prompt wrangling on complex tasks, more predictable results.
Canva plans to leverage Skills to customize agents and expand what they can do. This unlocks new ways to bring Canva deeper into agentic workflows—helping teams capture their unique context and create stunning, high-quality designs effortlessly.
Skills streamline our management accounting and finance workflows. Claude processes multiple spreadsheets, catches critical anomalies, and generates reports using our procedures. What once took a day, we can now accomplish in an hour.
Claude Code
Skills extend Claude Code with your team's expertise and workflows. Install skills via plugins from the anthropics/skills marketplace. Claude loads them automatically when relevant. Share skills through version control with your team. You can also manually install skills by adding them to ~/.claude/skills. The Claude Agent SDK provides the same Agent Skills support for building custom agents.

What's next
We're working toward simplified skill creation workflows and enterprise-wide deployment capabilities, making it easier for organizations to distribute skills across teams.
Keep in mind, this feature gives Claude access to execute code. While powerful, it means being mindful about which skills you use—stick to trusted sources to keep your data safe. Learn more.
