What Are Claude Skills?

Claude Skills are installable knowledge packages that extend Claude's capabilities for specific domains. A skill is a .skill file — a bundled archive containing a SKILL.md instruction file and optional reference materials — that you upload to Claude once and use across all your conversations.

Once installed, a skill activates automatically when your conversation touches its topic area. You don't need to invoke it by name or use special commands. Claude simply becomes a deeper expert in that domain for the duration of your session.

Skills are ideal when you need:

How skills work under the hood: Each .skill file contains a primary SKILL.md that is loaded into Claude's context when the skill triggers, plus reference files that are loaded on demand for deeper sub-topics. This "progressive disclosure" pattern keeps context usage efficient while making comprehensive knowledge available when needed.


Who Is This For?

These skills are designed for professionals who work on information security, privacy, and regulatory compliance — whether at organizations seeking certification, development teams building compliant systems, or advisors supporting clients.

Security & Compliance Teams use these skills to accelerate gap assessments, generate first-draft policies, map controls, and prepare evidence packages — compressing weeks of reference work into minutes.

Software Developers & Engineers use them to understand what controls their systems must implement, audit code and architecture for compliance issues, and get actionable technical guidance tied to specific regulatory requirements.

Legal, Privacy & GRC Professionals use them to draft regulatory documents (DPAs, BAAs, privacy notices), answer client questions with precise regulatory citations, and stay current on framework requirements.

Healthcare Organizations use the HIPAA skill to assess systems, generate required notices and agreements, and train staff on obligations — without needing a compliance consultant for every question.

Cloud Service Providers pursuing federal government contracts use the FedRAMP skill to navigate the ATO process, write SSP narratives, manage POA&Ms, and prepare for 3PAO assessments.

Startups and SMBs use these skills to understand what a given framework requires of them, scope their compliance programs, and get expert-quality output without a large in-house team.

🏛️ FedRAMP Skill — Improvements

  • Improved Updated based on user feedback

🤖 ISO 42001 Skill — Improvements

  • Improved Updated based on user feedback

🔒 ISO 27701 Skill — Improvements

  • Improved Rewrote version-selection logic: skill now leads with the 2019 extension model when the user has an existing ISO 27001 certification, and defaults to the 2025 standalone edition for greenfield implementations — previously defaulted to 2025 in all cases
  • Improved GDPR alignment is now mentioned in the opening paragraph of every ISO 27701 explanation — the standard's primary value proposition was previously buried in a reference table
  • New Added PII Processor terminology table with exact ISO 27701 control language ("PII subject rights assistance obligations", "sub-processor notification and consent", "processing under controller authority") — these are the precise phrases used in audits and DPA contracts
  • New Added explicit "Key Statements" section covering: ISO 27701 is not a GDPR safe harbor; it has not been approved as a formal Article 42 GDPR certification scheme; ISO 27701:2019 requires ISO 27001 as a prerequisite and cannot be certified standalone

🐛 Fix — ISO 27701 Standalone Skill File

  • Fix The ISO 27701 - Claude Skill/iso27701.skill ZIP was missing entirely — the directory existed but contained no installable file. The standalone skill archive has been built and published.

📊 Skill Evaluation — Updated Benchmark

  • New Integrated Formspree Ajax library (@formspree/ajax) via CDN for inline field validation and no-reload submissions
  • New Release Notes section (this section) added to the Resources tab
  • Improved Evaluation tab now shows stat cards (92% / 84% / +8pts) and per-skill results table for all 12 skills

🐛 Bug Fixes — Skill Installability

  • Fix NIST CSF, PCI DSS, TSA Cybersecurity, and ISO 42001 .skill files were failing to install with the error "SKILL.md file must be in the top-level folder, not nested deeper" — caused by SKILL.md being packaged two levels deep (skills/<name>/SKILL.md) instead of one (<name>/SKILL.md). All four skills have been repackaged correctly.

🧪 Test Suite

  • New Added tests/test_skill_installability.py — validates ZIP structure, SKILL.md depth, path safety, and content for all 9 .skill files (169 assertions, runs with pytest)
  • New Added tests/test_plugin_structure.py — validates plugin directory layout, plugin.json schema, semver versioning, and marketplace.json completeness for all 9 plugins
