This Claude Skills tutorial for 2026 shows you how to save any prompt as a reusable skill that runs across Chat, Cowork, and Claude Code, and how to share it with your whole team.

First, you’ll see what a Claude Skill actually is and how Claude can store dozens of skills without slowing down.
Then, you’ll build your own “Thread Reply” skill from scratch to reply to long emails you’ve missed, complete with test cases that grade the skill before you save it.
Next, you’ll see how skills can be used against internal app data to validate your business rules.
Afterward, you’ll run that same Thread Reply skill inside Claude Cowork on a local folder which includes more context on the business.
Along the way, you’ll see how Claude Code handles skills differently, with skills living as folders on disk in .claude/skills.
Then, you’ll learn four ways to share a skill with your team.
That includes setting up a shared folder so a whole sub-team can run the same Claude Skill from a synced drive, even without a Team or Enterprise plan.
