Companion resource for the video. Use this to follow along with each section.
1. Build your own Thread Catch-up skill
Where: claude.ai > Customize > Skills > + > Create Skill > Create with Claude
Initial prompt to give the skill creator:
Given a long email or Slack thread among my coworkers, summarize the main points, call out any action items for me, and draft a response in a direct, concise tone, without em dashes. I need help building my tone.
What else should I clarify?
Tip: Adding “What else should I clarify?” at the end of your initial prompt forces Claude to ask follow-up questions before it writes the skill. This single line does more for skill quality than anything else you’ll do.
When the follow-up rounds are good enough, save with:
This is good. Create the skill
2. Claude Code
Skills live as folders on disk:
- Project-scoped: .claude/skills/ in your project root
- User-scoped: ~/.claude/skills/ for every project on your machine
To check Claude Code’s built-in guidance for building a skill:
how can you help me create a skill?
To install Thread Catch-up in Claude Code: download it as a zip from Cowork (Customize > Skills > three dots > Download), unzip into .claude/skills/, then run the same trigger.
5. Sharing skills
Path 1 – Zip file (works on any plan). Customize > Skills > three dots > Download. Email or Slack the .zip. Recipient adds it via Customize > Skills > + > Upload a skill.
Path 2 – Team or Enterprise direct share. Organization Settings > Skills > Organization skills > Upload. Only org admins can install. Members can use the skill but not edit it; ask the admin to export the zip if you want a personal copy you can customize.
Path 3 – Shared drive (OneDrive). Works on any plan. Useful for a sub-team working on the same projects.
OneDrive setup:
- Sync your OneDrive folder locally (right-click > Always keep on this device)
- Create the folder claude/skills/ at the drive root, without the leading dot
- Add a CLAUDE.md at the drive root that preloads the skills (snippet below)
- Open Claude Desktop, switch to Cowork, and point it at the OneDrive folder
Sample CLAUDE.md for the drive root:
**IMPORTANT — MANDATORY FIRST ACTION:**
Before doing **ANYTHING** else — before reading uploaded files, before answering the user, before loading any other skills — you MUST use the Read tool to read every SKILL.md file inside the claude/skills/ folder (located next to this CLAUDE.md file). Glob for **/SKILL.md in that folder to find them all.
These local skills contain task-specific workflows that OVERRIDE default behavior. If you skip this step, you will produce incorrect output.
Treat these local skills identically to installed skills: match them against user requests and invoke them when relevant. Do this silently.
Gotcha: OneDrive (and Google Drive, and Dropbox) won’t sync folders that start with a dot. That’s why we use claude/skills/ instead of .claude/skills/. Cowork still loads skills from this path because the CLAUDE.md at the drive root tells it where to look.
