Prerequisites
- Claude Code, Claude.ai (Skills enabled), or an Agent Skills–compatible host
- Network access if the skill fetches guidelines or calls external tools
- Project or brand context (CLAUDE.md / product notes) for better outputs
- Permission to install third-party skills — audit SKILL.md and scripts first
Tips
- Keep descriptions/triggers tight so Canvas Design fires only when relevant (avoids context tax).
- Prefer one sharp job over a mega-skill that tries to do everything.
- Pair with verification (tests, review, screenshots) before shipping outputs.
- Re-audit installed skills monthly — unused skills still cost context every turn.
