What is an AI skill?
A skill is a tested set of instructions packaged as a .skill file that you install into Claude Code or
Cowork. It turns Claude into a specialist for a specific task, like writing proposals, analyzing
competitors, or drafting follow-up emails. Think of it as hiring an expert, except it's a $19-45
download that works instantly.
How are skills different from regular prompts?
A prompt is a one-off instruction. A skill is a structured framework that includes step-by-step
methodology, quality checklists, output formatting, and edge case handling. Every skill in our catalog
is benchmarked against the same task performed without the skill. The average improvement is +49%.
How do I install a skill?
Download the .skill file, then add it to your Claude Code or Cowork skills directory. That's it.
No configuration, no API keys, no dependencies. The skill activates automatically when you give Claude a
matching task.
Can you build a custom skill for my team?
Yes. If you need a skill tailored to your specific workflows, industry, or internal processes, reach out
at hello@rayoworx.com.
We use the same benchmarking framework to ensure custom skills meet the same quality bar as our catalog.
