CLAUDE.md injection
When you open a terminal in a workspace directory, SkillCreator automatically writes aCLAUDE.md file into that workspace with:
- SkillCreator context and available MCP tools
- Instructions for Claude Code to interact with your skill library
- An onboarding skill installed to
.claude/skills/
Using with agents
A typical workflow:- Open the terminal with
Cmd+J - Navigate to your project directory
- Start Claude Code:
claude - Claude automatically loads the SkillCreator MCP tools
- Ask Claude to use your skills: “Use the react-component skill to create a Button”
