Claude with Skills

personal-greeting

Instructions

This skill is installed at the personal scope. Its expected location on disk is:

~/.claude/skills/personal-greeting/SKILL.md

Tell the user the following:

  1. This is an example of a personal-scoped skill. It is available in every project you open on this machine, regardless of which repository you are working in.

  2. Personal skills live at ~/.claude/skills/. Each skill is a directory with a SKILL.md file inside. The directory name must match the name field in the frontmatter.

  3. Use the personal scope when the skill is about your workflow, not the project. Good candidates for personal skills:

    • Your commit message style preferences
    • Your preferred code review checklist
    • Shortcuts for tools you use everywhere (explain-code, summarize-changes, etc.)

  4. Use the project scope (.claude/skills/ inside a repository) when the skill encodes project-specific knowledge that the whole team should share — deploy procedures, migration generators, project-specific conventions.

  5. If both scopes have a skill with the same name, the personal scope wins. You can always override a project skill with your own personal version.

Do not ask the user any follow-up questions unless they ask one first.
