Skills installed

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/. Each is a single SKILL.md file with frontmatter (name, description, allowed-tools) and the body is plain-English instructions Claude follows.

These workflows are documented on this site but the skill files don’t exist yet:

SkillWorkflow pageStatus
synthesizeResearch SynthesizerDesign ready, not built
review-cardsSpaced RepetitionDesign ready, not built
make-cardsSpaced RepetitionDesign ready, not built
rebuild-mocsMOC MaintainerDesign ready, not built

When you’re ready to build any of these, ask Claude — the design notes on the workflow pages are detailed enough to scaffold from.

Terminal window
notepad C:\Users\justi\.claude\skills\daily-driver\SKILL.md

The file has YAML frontmatter (don’t change name — it’s the skill ID), then markdown instructions. Editing is safe; Claude re-reads on next invocation. No rebuild step.

Terminal window
mkdir C:\Users\justi\.claude\skills\my-new-skill
notepad C:\Users\justi\.claude\skills\my-new-skill\SKILL.md

Inside the file:

---
name: my-new-skill
description: One-sentence description that triggers Claude's recognition. Make this specific — the more your trigger phrases match, the better skill routing works.
allowed-tools: mcp__mcp-obsidian__obsidian_get_file_contents, mcp__mcp-obsidian__obsidian_append_content
---
# My New Skill
Plain-English instructions for Claude here. Be specific about steps, files to read, files to write, edge cases, and tone.

Restart Claude Code (or wait for skill discovery to refresh) and the skill is live.

Terminal window
rmdir /S C:\Users\justi\.claude\skills\my-old-skill

Done. No registry to clean.

Removing a skill from skill routing without deleting it

Section titled “Removing a skill from skill routing without deleting it”

Add disabled: true to the frontmatter. Claude will skip routing to it but the file remains for reference.

I wrote all 7 of these during our Claude Code session in early May 2026. They reference your specific vault layout (00-Inbox/, 10-Daily/, etc.). If you change folder names, update the skills.
