Skills Directory

TL;DR

The specific filesystem path (~/.claude/skills/) where Claude scans for custom skills.

Definition

The specific filesystem path (~/.claude/skills/) where Claude scans for custom skills. Storing a skill file in any other location — your Desktop, Downloads, or a project folder — means Claude will never find it. The directory path is non-negotiable.

Exam Context

Questions test whether you know the correct storage location. The path must be exact: ~/.claude/skills/.
