🧠 From Prompt to Skill

The other week you built a real prompt: the Listing Description Generator. It works, but it lives in a doc. Every time you want it, you go find it, copy it, paste it, and fill in the brackets. Today we take that same prompt and turn it into a skill, so Claude just knows it. You ask for a listing description, and Claude reaches for your prompt on its own. No hunting, no pasting.

• ⚖️ Prompt vs Skill: the one-minute version

• 🧩 So what is a skill, really?

🔧 Turn your prompt into a skill

We are not writing anything new today. We are taking the prompt you already have and wrapping it in a name and a trigger. Simply paste the existing prompt into Claude, and tell it to create this as a Skill.

Your takeaway. A prompt is something you carry around and set up each time. A skill is that same work, saved once, that Claude picks up on its own. Take your listing prompt, wrap it in a name and a description, save it as SKILL.md, and upload it. One prompt, promoted to a permanent teammate.
