Claude Skills: From Chat Window to Reusable Workflows
This article introduces Anthropic's Claude Skills, a feature that helps users streamline recurring tasks by storing workflow instructions, criteria, and examples. While Skills provide structure and standardize outputs, they do not automate tasks autonomously; users must trigger them. The piece also highlights the Ramp AI Index, which shows Claude ahead of ChatGPT in paid enterprise adoption among US companies. It promotes a t3n online course, 'Claude im Arbeitsalltag,' on September 17, 2026, led by Anna Toklu, founder of JustMarketing Consulting. The course costs €149 and is free for t3n PRO members. Aimed at German-speaking professionals in non-technical roles, the article clarifies when to use Skills versus projects or connectors.
Claude Haiku 4.5 Adds Skills for Personal Workflows
Anthropic has introduced Skills, a new feature for Claude that lets the AI learn and execute your personal workflows. Skills are repeatable, personalized instructions; Claude automatically detects when a Skill is needed and loads a folder containing guides, scripts, and other resources to perform tasks in the user’s preferred style. Skills can be combined for more complex workflows and are accessible not only in Claude.ai but also via Claude Code and the API. In the settings, users can enable the feature and define their own Skills, with availability limited to Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans. Anthropic also announced a Microsoft 365 integration, enabling Claude to retrieve information from SharePoint, OneDrive, Outlook, and Teams to deliver contextual responses without switching apps. The rollout coincides with Claude Haiku 4.5, which the company claims outperforms Sonnet 4.0 in a software engineering benchmark and competes with GPT-5 and GPT-5-Codex from OpenAI.
