Finding and using skills​

In Claude Code, skills show in the command palette when you type /. In other tools, find the skill's file under .agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md and ask for the workflow by name or by pointing at the file. A skill's description — the words a user would say to invoke it — is in its front matter.
