# Free Skills

55 free Claude Code skills for beginners.

Each skill lives in its own folder. Grab the one you want, drop it into your Claude Code skills directory, and start using it. That's the whole setup.

No API keys. No installs. No scripts to run. If you have Claude Code, these work.

> **Want to actually learn Claude Code?** Join the [Claude Code Club](https://www.skool.com/claudecodeclub) — learn Claude Code plus all my resources, for just $9.

## Is this the right repo for you?

**Yes, if you're new.** Everything here runs the moment you drop the folder in. No API keys, no installs, no accounts to wire up. These skills teach you Claude Code, get your first things built and live, and help you tell people about them.

**You'll want [profit-room-skills](https://github.com/duncan-buildroom/profit-room-skills) once you're past that.** That's the heavier set — full content pipelines, video and thumbnail generation, carousel rendering, publishing automations, site builders. Those skills do more, but they need API keys, connected tools, and a bit of setup. Start here, go there when the simple version stops being enough.

Some skills appear in both. Same skill, no catch.

## Start here

Run [`personalize`](./personalize) first. It asks you a few questions about your name, niche, offer, and audience, then saves the answers to `~/.claude/brand-profile.md`.

A lot of these skills read that file. That's how they write in your voice, for your audience, without you re-explaining yourself every time. You only do this once.

Then run [`claude-orientation`](./claude-orientation) to pick your first build and write down tonight's next move.

## The 55 skills

### Setup

| Skill | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| [`personalize`](./personalize) | Sets up your brand profile so the other skills write in your voice. Run this first, once. |

### Learn Claude Code

Your first week. These make the tool stop being scary.

| Skill | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| [`claude-orientation`](./claude-orientation) | You installed it, now what. Picks ONE build to focus on and writes tonight's single next move. |
| [`brief-builder`](./brief-builder) | Turns a vague ask into a surgical brief you paste straight into Claude. Context, goal, constraints, format, done-when. |
| [`prompt-fixer`](./prompt-fixer) | You got bad output. Paste the prompt you used and find out why it failed, plus the rewritten version. |
| [`error-decoder`](./error-decoder) | Paste any error or red text. Get what broke in plain English, whether you can ignore it, and the exact sentence to send Claude. |
| [`explain-this`](./explain-this) | Paste any file, folder, or config and get a beginner-level explanation of what it is and which parts you'd ever touch. |
| [`safety-net`](./safety-net) | Sets up your two undo systems so you can experiment without fear of breaking something. |

### Work with Claude well

Habits and reusable systems that make every later session better.

| Skill | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| [`claude-md-builder`](./claude-md-builder) | Builds the CLAUDE.md memory file for a project so Claude stops forgetting your rules every session. |
| [`skill-starter`](./skill-starter) | Turns a job you keep repeating into your own working skill. This is the one that makes you a builder. |
| [`plan-first`](./plan-first) | Decides what gets built — and what explicitly does not — before Claude touches anything. |
| [`session-wrapup`](./session-wrapup) | Ends your session with what changed and one line for tomorrow, so reopening takes 5 minutes not 30. |
| [`stuck-unstick`](./stuck-unstick) | You're going in circles. Diagnoses which trap you're in and hands you the exact next sentence to send. |
| [`weekly-review`](./weekly-review) | A Sunday reset. What shipped, what stalled, and the one thing for next week. |

### Build your first things

| Skill | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| [`first-website`](./first-website) | Your first real website, built by describing it. Runs the full loop: describe, preview, react, repeat, ship. |
| [`landing-page`](./landing-page) | A page with one job: capture a lead. One headline, one form, one button. |
| [`link-in-bio`](./link-in-bio) | Your own branded link page instead of a rented Linktree. Built phone-first, because that's where it gets opened. |
| [`sales-page`](./sales-page) | A page that looks like a real product. Value before price, proof before the ask. |
| [`simple-game`](./simple-game) | A playable browser game in one sitting. The easiest impressive thing a beginner can ship. |
| [`deploy-it`](./deploy-it) | Gets what you built onto a real public URL for free, so you can text the link to someone. |

### Make it look good

| Skill | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| [`design-taste`](./design-taste) | Screenshot sites you love and get back a written design system so your builds stop looking like templates. |
| [`make-it-designed`](./make-it-designed) | A polish pass on something you already built. Refine, don't rebuild. |
| [`mobile-check`](./mobile-check) | Reviews your page the way someone on a phone will actually see it, with a ranked fix list. |
| [`waitlist-page`](./waitlist-page) | A coming-soon page that collects emails before you spend three months building. |
| [`quote-calculator`](./quote-calculator) | An instant-quote widget for a service business. Picks a few options, shows a range, captures the lead. |
| [`simple-tracker`](./simple-tracker) | A small dashboard that runs in your browser and saves to your device. No login, no database, no monthly bill. |

### Everyday tasks

Things Claude Code is quietly great at, before you build anything.

| Skill | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| [`email-writer`](./email-writer) | The email you've been avoiding. Chasing an invoice, saying no, following up for the third time. |
| [`doc-digest`](./doc-digest) | Point it at a long document and get what actually matters: the decisions, the numbers, the traps. |
| [`decision-helper`](./decision-helper) | You're stuck between options. Forces a real recommendation and the first move today. |
| [`learn-anything`](./learn-anything) | Teaches you a topic at your real level, with a practice ladder instead of a lecture. |
| [`rewrite-plain`](./rewrite-plain) | Rewrites anything into language a busy person understands on the first read. |
| [`research-brief`](./research-brief) | Turns "I need to understand this before Monday" into a one-page sourced brief. |

### Get your offer right

| Skill | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| [`offer-builder`](./offer-builder) | Builds a Grand Slam Offer using the Value Equation — stacked deliverables, a name, a guarantee, a one-line pitch. |
| [`positioning-filter`](./positioning-filter) | Finds the one angle that makes you different, so you stop sounding like everyone else in your niche. |
| [`pricing-calculator`](./pricing-calculator) | Prices your offer on the outcome the buyer gets, not on your hours. Three tiers and the value story. |
| [`repeatable-offer`](./repeatable-offer) | Finds the repeatable 80% of your custom work and wraps it in a fixed name, scope, price, and delivery checklist. |
| [`first-product`](./first-product) | Interviews you on what you know and writes a complete, sellable digital guide plus the storefront listing copy. |
| [`more-from-buyers`](./more-from-buyers) | Finds 3 to 5 ways to make more from the customers you already have, ranked by effort. |

### Get customers

| Skill | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| [`warm-outreach`](./warm-outreach) | A ranked list of people who already trust you, plus a first message that opens a conversation. |
| [`dm-writer`](./dm-writer) | One short, human DM to one specific person for one specific reason. |
| [`first-customer-closer`](./first-customer-closer) | Turns "someone's interested and I don't know what to say" into a calm script. For people who hate selling. |
| [`objection-handler`](./objection-handler) | Honest answers to "too expensive", "no time", and "let me think about it" — without freezing. |
| [`proposal-writer`](./proposal-writer) | Turns messy notes from one real conversation into a clean, ready-to-send proposal with a price table. |

### Tell people what you built

Shipping is half the job. This is the other half.

| Skill | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| [`caption-writer`](./caption-writer) | The caption for a post about something you made. First line does all the work. |
| [`thread-writer`](./thread-writer) | One idea turned into a thread people actually finish. |
| [`carousel-writer`](./carousel-writer) | The words for every slide, in order. Slide 1 has to work alone. |
| [`bio-writer`](./bio-writer) | Your profile bio for each platform, in the right length. Makes the right person stay. |
| [`case-study`](./case-study) | Turns one win into something you can send a prospect. Never invents numbers. |
| [`testimonial-ask`](./testimonial-ask) | The ask, sent at the right moment, with the three questions that produce a usable quote. |
| [`launch-plan`](./launch-plan) | Picks the right launch type for your stage and builds a dated, day-by-day plan with an asset checklist. |
| [`content-prompt`](./content-prompt) | One question worth answering on camera, plus five hooks and text overlays. |
| [`daily-post-ideas`](./daily-post-ideas) | Five LinkedIn post ideas, each with a ready-to-paste hook line. |
| [`hooks`](./hooks) | YouTube hooks using the Kallaway desire framework, each one scored. |
| [`dissect`](./dissect) | Paste a post that's performing and find out why it works, plus a brief to rebuild the mechanism. |

### Everything else

| Skill | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| [`meeting-notes`](./meeting-notes) | Turns any meeting transcript into a clean summary with decisions and action items. |
| [`fable-goal`](./fable-goal) | Turns a rough, spoken-out-loud idea into one exceptional `/goal` prompt for a fresh Fable session. |

## A suggested order

If you want a path instead of a menu:

**Week 1 — get set up and ship something**

1. `/personalize` — set up your profile
2. `/claude-orientation` — pick ONE build
3. `/safety-net` — learn the two undo buttons so you stop being careful
4. `/first-website` or `/simple-game` — build the thing
5. `/deploy-it` — get it on a real URL and send it to one person

**Week 2 — make it good and tell people**

6. `/design-taste` — write down a look that's yours
7. `/make-it-designed` and `/mobile-check` — polish it
8. `/caption-writer` — post about it

**Week 3 — turn it into money**

9. `/offer-builder` — build something worth selling
10. `/pricing-calculator` — put a real number on it
11. `/warm-outreach` then `/dm-writer` — find the first people to tell
12. `/first-customer-closer` and `/objection-handler` — have the conversation

Then `/session-wrapup` at the end of each night and `/weekly-review` on Sundays, so none of it gets lost.

## How to install a skill

A skill is just a folder with a `SKILL.md` inside. To install one:

1. Download the folder for the skill you want (see [Downloading a single folder](#downloading-a-single-folder) below).
2. Move it into your Claude Code skills directory:
   - **Personal (all projects):** `~/.claude/skills/`
   - **Project-only:** `.claude/skills/` inside the project
3. Restart Claude Code (or start a new session).
4. The skill is now live. Invoke it by typing `/` followed by the skill name, for example `/personalize`.

Your folder should end up looking like this:

```
~/.claude/skills/
└── personalize/
    └── SKILL.md
```

## Downloading a single folder

You don't have to clone the whole repo. A few easy ways to grab just one folder:

**Option A — clone once, copy what you want**

```bash
git clone https://github.com/duncan-buildroom/freeskills.git
cp -r freeskills/personalize ~/.claude/skills/
```

**Option B — install all 55 at once**

```bash
git clone https://github.com/duncan-buildroom/freeskills.git
cd freeskills
for d in */; do cp -r "$d" ~/.claude/skills/; done
```

**Option C — download the whole repo as a ZIP**

Click the green **Code** button on the [repo page](https://github.com/duncan-buildroom/freeskills), choose **Download ZIP**, unzip it, and copy the folder you want into `~/.claude/skills/`.

## Make your own

Once you've used a few of these, run [`skill-starter`](./skill-starter). It turns a job you keep repeating into your own skill, saved to your machine and invoked with a slash command.

That's the real point of this repo. These 55 are a starting set. The ones you build for yourself are the ones you'll use every day.
