Claude

Claude Code loads skills from ~/.claude/skills/ (all projects) or .claude/skills/ (one project):

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/samber/cc-skills.git
cp -r cc-skills/skills/technical-article-writer ~/.claude/skills/technical-article-writer   # personal, or .claude/skills in a project

In the Claude apps, zip the technical-article-writer folder and upload it under Customize > Skills > + > Upload a skill (code execution must be on).

ChatGPT / Codex

Codex reads skills from .agents/skills/ in a repo or ~/.agents/skills/ for every project:

What this skill does

Write technical articles and blog posts for developer audiences — tutorials, explainers, benchmarks, bug hunts, postmortems, and 'we rewrote it in X' posts — with title variants and developer-grade article structure. Use whenever the user asks to write a blog post, technical article, dev.to or Medium post, or any long-form technical content, including 'write about [technical topic]', 'turn this into a blog post', or 'I want to publish something about X', even without naming a format.
