- Ask in plain words, for example: "Use Teach Me on this project."
- Unzip the download, then zip just the teach-me folder if your computer added an extra folder.
- In Claude.ai, open Settings, then Capabilities, and upload it under Skills.
- Turn the skill on and ask Claude to use it.
Teach Me uses the open SKILL.md format, so it also works in agents like Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and Codex. Copy the teach-me folder into that agent's skills folder, for example .cursor/skills/ or .github/skills/ in your project.
