Overview
- Skills are live across Claude apps, Claude Code, and the API for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise users, with Team and Enterprise admins able to enable organization-wide access.
- Each Skill is a folder (SKILL.md plus resources) that Claude discovers and loads only when relevant using a progressive disclosure model, and users can see which Skills were invoked during a task.
- Executable Skills require Anthropic’s Code Execution Tool beta, and Anthropic and reporters urge installing only trusted, audited Skills due to security, privacy, and potential liability risks.
- A built-in skill-creator helps users scaffold new Skills without manual coding, while developers get versioning and management via the console and the /v1/skills endpoint alongside the Agent SDK.
- Enterprise features include a Microsoft 365 connector and enterprise search for Team and Enterprise tiers, granting delegated, read-only access to SharePoint, OneDrive, Outlook, and Teams, with early adopters like Box, Canva, and Rakuten.
