How to install Claude Skills

Option 1 — Claude.ai Projects (no install, no terminal)

1. Go to claude.ai and sign in.
2. Click Projects in the left sidebar, then Create Project.
3. Name it after your event and role, e.g. “TechSummit 2026 — Sponsorship”.
4. Open the project instructions (the pencil icon next to “Project instructions”, or Project Settings).
5. Open the skill you want — raw files:
   • conference-general-chair/SKILL.md — Conference Chair
   • conference-program-chair/SKILL.md — Program Director
   • conference-sponsorship-lead/SKILL.md — Head of Sponsorship
   • conference-marketing-comms/SKILL.md — CMO
   • conference-venue-logistics/SKILL.md — Head of Operations
   • conference-finance-registration/SKILL.md — CFO
   • conference-attendee-experience/SKILL.md — Chief Experience Officer
   • conference-vibe-coder/SKILL.md — Head of Web
6. Copy everything and paste it into the project instructions box.
7. Click Save. Every new conversation in that project now uses that skill.

Create one project per role, or combine several skill files into one project.

Option 2 — One command with npx (Claude Code)

Works on Mac, Windows and Linux. Requires Node.js 18+.

npx @msg2ai/conference-team-skills install

The installer clones the skills into ~/.claude/skills/conference-team-skills/ and they're immediately available in Claude Code. Other commands:

npx @msg2ai/conference-team-skills list        # See all 8 skills
npx @msg2ai/conference-team-skills update      # Update to the latest version
npx @msg2ai/conference-team-skills uninstall   # Remove the skills

Published on npm as @msg2ai/conference-team-skills.

Option 3 — Claude Code plugin

Plugins are namespaced and can be managed with the /plugin command inside Claude Code.

git clone https://github.com/msg2ai/conference-team-skills.git
claude --plugin-dir ./conference-team-skills

Skills are then available as namespaced commands, e.g. /conference-team-skills:conference-sponsorship-lead.

Option 4 — Git clone (manual)

1. Install Claude Code if you don't have it yet (requires Node.js 18+):

   npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

2. Clone the skills into your Claude skills directory (Mac / Linux / Git Bash):

   git clone https://github.com/msg2ai/conference-team-skills.git ~/.claude/skills/conference-team-skills

   Windows PowerShell:

   git clone https://github.com/msg2ai/conference-team-skills.git "$env:USERPROFILE\.claude\skills\conference-team-skills"

3. Verify — you should see eight conference-* folders:

   ls ~/.claude/skills/conference-team-skills/

4. Open Claude Code and type a natural prompt, e.g. “Plan the conference timeline — our event is September 15, 500 attendees”. Claude picks up the matching skill automatically, or invoke one directly with /conference-general-chair.

Option 5 — Claude Code desktop app or IDE extension

Clone the repo into ~/.claude/skills/conference-team-skills as in Option 4, then open Claude Code in the desktop app or your VS Code / JetBrains extension. Skills are detected automatically from ~/.claude/skills/ — no additional configuration.

Option 6 — Download as ZIP (no Git)

1. Download the ZIP (or on GitHub click Code → Download ZIP).
2. Extract it.
3. For Claude Code, move the extracted folder to ~/.claude/skills/conference-team-skills. For Claude.ai, open any SKILL.md in a text editor and paste it into your project instructions.

Using the skills in Codex or Cursor

Each SKILL.md is plain markdown, so other AI coding tools can use it as a system prompt. In OpenAI's Codex CLI, copy it into your project as AGENTS.md:

git clone https://github.com/msg2ai/conference-team-skills.git ~/conference-team-skills
cp ~/conference-team-skills/conference-sponsorship-lead/SKILL.md ./AGENTS.md

In Cursor, save each skill as a project rule:

mkdir -p .cursor/rules
curl -L -o .cursor/rules/sponsorship.mdc \
