Free Claude Skills

Free Claude skills, from our own work.

We build software with Claude every day, and we teach it our methods as skills: folders of instructions and scripts that Claude reads when a task calls for them. These three come from our own projects. Take them, use them, change them. Free, MIT licensed, no sign-up.

For anyone with a website

AEO: get cited by AI search

The rulebook and monthly check we use to get our own sites named by ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google’s AI answers: what moves citations, what doesn’t, and how to measure it without fooling yourself.

Runs in Claude Code or claude.ai
For founders and developers on a Mac

Site check: see it on an iPhone first

Captures, measures and checks a site in Chrome, in Safari’s engine and in a real iPhone’s Safari, then lays the before and after side by side. Layout seen only in Chrome hasn’t been checked.

Apple Creator Studio: Claude at the controls

Claude drives Final Cut Pro, Motion, Compressor and Pixelmator Pro in the background: it builds timelines, titles and print-ready art, renders and encodes them, and checks every file it makes.

AEO: get cited by AI search

The rulebook and monthly check we use to get our own sites named by ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google’s AI answers: what moves citations, what doesn’t, and how to measure it without fooling yourself.

  • Runs the same monthly check every time: a fixed set of questions, half that name you and half that don’t, on ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Mode with personalization off, written to a dated record so each run compares with the last.
  • Applies a rulebook drawn from public research and our own runs: pages that answer the exact question, third-party listings and reviews move citations; llms.txt files and schema markup don’t.
  • Checks that every AI vendor’s crawler can reach your pages.
  • When an engine gets you wrong, finds the page it actually read, so you fix that one.

Site check: see it on an iPhone first

Captures, measures and checks a site in Chrome, in Safari’s engine and in a real iPhone’s Safari, then lays the before and after side by side. Layout seen only in Chrome hasn’t been checked.

  • Takes whole-page pictures at phone and laptop sizes, and measures the first screen: where the headline and the main button fall, what’s too small to tap, the faintest text.
  • Renders the page in Safari’s engine off screen, and in iOS Safari on a temporary simulated iPhone, where most layout bugs hide.
  • Finds what makes a page wider than a phone, and names the element.
  • Makes before-and-after sheets for a redesign, and waits for the deploy to finish before checking the live site.

Apple Creator Studio: Claude at the controls

Claude drives Final Cut Pro, Motion, Compressor and Pixelmator Pro in the background: it builds timelines, titles and print-ready art, renders and encodes them, and checks every file it makes.

  • Final Cut Pro: builds timelines as FCPXML, checks them against the app’s own format, and imports them in the background, with captions, loudness and export settings per platform.
  • Motion: writes titles, lower thirds and particle effects into Motion’s own project files, and renders them with transparent backgrounds, without opening Motion.
  • Compressor: encodes and delivers for YouTube, Shorts, Reels and TikTok at each platform’s size, bitrate and loudness, from the command line.
  • Pixelmator Pro: lays out print and social art (layers, text, outlines, Super Resolution) and reads back every export to check what landed on disk.

Questions.

What is a Claude skill?

A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file of instructions, and sometimes scripts and reference files, that Claude reads when a task matches what the skill is for. Skills work in Claude Code, in the Claude apps and through the API.

How do I install one?

In Claude Code, add our marketplace once with /plugin marketplace add Avant-Concepts-LLC/claude-skills, then install any skill from it by name, or unzip a download into ~/.claude/skills/. The AEO skill also works on claude.ai and in the Claude desktop app: with code execution turned on, go to Customize, then Skills, choose Create skill, then Upload a skill, and pick the zip. The other two need Claude Code on a Mac.

Are they really free?

Yes. They are MIT licensed: use them, change them, and ship them in your own work. There is nothing to sign up for.

Do they send our data anywhere?

No. They are instructions and scripts that run on your machine. Anything they fetch, they fetch from the sites you point them at.

Are the Creator Studio skills from Apple?

No. Final Cut Pro, Motion, Compressor and Pixelmator Pro are Apple’s apps, and these skills are not affiliated with or endorsed by Apple. They work with the apps you already have installed and include none of Apple’s own files.

Who made them?

Avant Concepts, an AI software studio in Jacksonville Beach, Florida, founded by Ben Subercaseaux. We use every one of these on our own products.

Want a skill for your team’s own process?

We write custom skills and agents: we learn how your team does a task, write it down so Claude can do it, and test it on your real cases until it does the job the way your best person would.
