Skills
Pre-built actions you can run with one click.
A skill is a pre-built action like "Summarize this file" or "Draft a press release." Skills package up the right prompt, the right context, and the right output format so you don't have to write it yourself every time.
EasyCC ships with 70+ skills covering writing, business, marketing, productivity, learning, creative, and engineering work. You can also install more from the library or write your own.
Find a skill
Open the Skills panel from the right-hand toolbar (the Sparkles icon).
The panel has three tabs:
| Tab | What's in it |
|---|---|
| Installed | Skills available in this agent. Click any one to run it. |
| Library | Browse every skill EasyCC ships with. One click adds it to the agent. |
| Recent | Skills you've used in the last few days, top of the list. |
The search box filters all three tabs by name and category.
Run a skill
Two ways:
- From the Skills panel — click the skill. EasyCC opens a new chat and runs it. If the skill needs input (a file, a topic, a tone), it asks before starting.
- From the chat — type
/, pick the skill, and add any arguments after the slash command. See Slash commands for the typing flow.
Both paths run the skill in the current agent, so it has access to your files and your agent's memory.
Add a skill from the library
Open the Library tab
Skills panel → Library. The list is grouped by category — Writing, Marketing, Productivity, and so on.
Click Install
The skill copies into the agent's .claude/skills/ folder. It now appears in the Installed tab and as a /slash-command.
Run it once to confirm
Click it from the Installed tab. If it asks a question, answer it; if not, it just runs.
Installing a skill is per-agent. If you want the same skill in another agent, install it there too.
Write your own
Skills are plain Markdown files. To make one:
- In the agent's
.claude/skills/folder, create a new folder named after your skill —my-skill/. - Inside it, create
SKILL.md. The first heading is the name; the rest is the prompt Claude follows when the skill runs. - Add a
description:line in the frontmatter so Claude knows when to suggest it.
A minimal skill looks like:
---
description: Summarize a long document into three bullet points.
---
# Summarize to three bullets
When the user runs this skill, take whatever file they attach and produce
exactly three bullet points that capture the most important takeaways.
Keep each bullet under 20 words.Save the file. The skill shows up in the Installed tab immediately — no restart needed.
For deeper authoring tips (arguments, tool restrictions, follow-up questions), see Creating your own specialist — the same authoring rules apply.
Share a skill
A skill is just a folder. Zip up .claude/skills/my-skill/, send it to a colleague, and have them drop it into the same path in their agent. The skill appears in their Installed tab the next time they open the Skills panel.
