Claude

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

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/shobcoder/shob.git
cp -r shob/skills/improve ~/.claude/skills/improve   # personal, or .claude/skills in a project

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