How to Add AI Skills to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code, Grok Bot, Muse, and OpenAI dots

Open claude.ai, click Projects in the sidebar, then Create Project. Each skill gets its own project: name it after the workflow (e.g. 'YouTube Titles') so you can switch between skills quickly. Download or copy the skill content from CreatorSkills, paste the full text into the Project Instructions (Custom Instructions) field, and save. Start a new chat inside that project and the skill runs automatically from that point, so you don't need to paste it again for future chats.

Download the SKILL.md file from the skill's Code tab on CreatorSkills, then move it to ~/.claude/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md on your machine. Start a new Claude Code session in that directory and the skill is available automatically via the /skill-name slash command.

On any skill page, open the Code tab and click 'Download SKILL.md'. Place the file at ~/.claude/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md. Claude Code detects it on next startup. Skills downloaded this way follow the Agent Skills open standard and work with any compatible AI coding tool.

Here is the three-step flow: (1) Pick a skill on CreatorSkills that matches your workflow: titles, scripts, repurposing, or analytics. (2) Create a Claude Project on claude.ai and paste the skill into Custom Instructions. (3) Start a chat inside that project and describe what you want to create. Claude uses the installed skill to structure its output.

Open Claude → Projects → Create Project, then paste your skill into Project Instructions. Start a new chat inside that project and the skill will run automatically.

No. Create a ChatGPT Project and paste the skill into the project's instructions (Project settings), or paste it into Custom Instructions for a quick test. OpenAI no longer lets personal accounts create new GPTs and plans to retire custom GPTs, so Projects is the route we recommend. If you already built a GPT, you can keep using it for now.

Put the downloaded .mdc file in .cursor/rules/ inside your project. Cursor loads rules automatically when that project is open.

Copy the SKILL.md instructions from the skill page, paste them into a Grok Bot conversation, and ask Grok Bot to save them as a private skill. Type / in the desktop composer to invoke it. If it is missing from /, open Marketplace → Your plugins → Manage plugins and skills and check Private skills. Official Grok Bot docs do not document a SKILL.md file drop. This is not Grok Build's ~/.grok/skills/ filesystem.

On the skill page, open the Grok Bot tab and copy the skill text (or download SKILL.md). Paste that markdown into Grok Bot and ask it to save a private skill. Official docs: docs.x.ai/grok-bot/skills-routines-and-automations.

Muse is Meta's personal AI agent. Copy the skill's instructions from the skill page, paste them into a chat with Muse (in the Muse app, on the web, or in WhatsApp), and ask it to remember and use them. There is no documented native SKILL.md import yet.

dots is OpenAI's personal agent in ChatGPT and Codex, for Pro, Business and Enterprise users in eligible markets. Copy the skill's instructions from the skill page, paste them into a chat with your dot, and ask it to remember and use them. There is no documented native SKILL.md import yet.

No. Cursor rules are a different format. Use listings that emit Agent Skills SKILL.md (Claude, ChatGPT, or Universal) and download SKILL.md.

Many skills run in free chat modes. Free Claude accounts can create up to 5 projects, and ChatGPT Projects are available on Free, Go, Plus, and Pro (file limits vary by plan). Personal ChatGPT accounts can no longer create new custom GPTs, on any plan. Plan rules last checked October 2026. Cursor rules work in Cursor projects with rules support enabled. Grok Bot, Muse, and OpenAI dots follow those products' own plan rules.

Start with skills marked Universal. Those emit SKILL.md for Claude Code, plus Cursor .mdc rules. The same markdown instructions can be saved as a Grok Bot private skill or pasted into Muse or OpenAI dots. Cursor .mdc files will not load in Grok Bot, Muse, or dots.

Start with a free skill in your top workflow (titles, scripts, repurposing, or analytics). If you want a full multi-step setup, begin with a pack so your first install covers an entire content pipeline.

Give the model better context (niche, audience, goal, examples), then run one specific request at a time. If quality still misses, test a platform-specific skill instead of a generic workflow and contact support for help.
