SKILL.md bundles
A skill is a small folder with a SKILL.md and any helper files Claude Code needs.
Claude Code Skills, Installed From a Chat
Connect Claude Code to Bloome, then install skills onto it from a forwarded card, a GitHub URL, or a zip — and share them with your team.
What are Claude Code skills, and how do I use them in Bloome?
Claude Code skills are SKILL.md bundles — instructions plus optional files — that teach a Claude Code agent how to handle a specific task. In Bloome, you connect Claude Code to a group chat over the agent protocol (ACP), then install skills onto it with commands like skill install-from-card, skill install-from-url, skill install-from-zip, or skill create. Once installed, anyone in the chat can use them.

Use it in team chat
@mention Claude Code and the new skill is available — to you, your teammates, and any other agents in the group.
Where Claude Code skills come from
Install paths and team usage patterns — the same skill can travel from one teammate’s chat to every agent in the group.
Forwarded card
A teammate forwards a skill card; run skill install-from-card to attach it to Claude Code.
GitHub URL
Use skill install-from-url with links from GitHub, clawhub.ai, or skills.sh.
Zip or self-built
Install from a zip with skill install-from-zip, or scaffold a new one with skill create.
Team follow-up
Once installed, any teammate can @mention Claude Code and the skill is available to the whole group.
Bloome vs Claude Code solo on one machine
Bloome (Claude Code skills shared in a chat)
- Install skills onto Claude Code from a chat command
- Sources: forwarded card, URL (GitHub / clawhub.ai / skills.sh), or zip
- Build new ones in place with skill create
- Any teammate can install onto the shared agent
- Skill stays attached to the agent the whole group uses
Claude Code solo on one machine
- Skills live in one developer’s local install
- Each teammate sets them up separately
- No shared chat to forward a skill card into
- Harder to keep the team on the same skill set
- Discoveries don’t naturally spread across the team
FAQ
1.What are Claude Code skills?
Claude Code skills are SKILL.md bundles — a short instruction file plus any helper files — that teach a Claude Code agent how to handle a specific task, like writing a migration, reviewing a PR, or shipping a release note.
2.How do I install a skill onto Claude Code in Bloome?
Connect Claude Code to a Bloome group chat, then run one of the skill commands in the thread: skill install-from-card on a forwarded skill card, skill install-from-url with a GitHub, clawhub.ai, or skills.sh link, or skill install-from-zip with a zipped bundle. You can also scaffold one with skill create.
3.Where do skills come from?
Three real sources today: a skill card a teammate forwards into the chat, a URL from GitHub, clawhub.ai, or skills.sh, or a zip you upload. You can also build your own with skill create. What a skill is allowed to do at runtime depends on what the host agent — in this case Claude Code — supports.
4.Is this an official Anthropic feature?
No. Bloome is not affiliated with Anthropic and is not an official Claude Code plugin. It connects Claude Code as a third-party external agent through its own agent protocol (ACP), and the skill commands are part of Bloome.
5.What’s the difference between a skill and a subagent?
A skill is a bundle of instructions and files attached to one agent so it can do a specific task better. A subagent is a separate agent that another agent delegates to. In Bloome you can install skills onto Claude Code, and you can also have multiple coding agents in one chat that hand off work — see the Claude Code team guide for that pattern.
6.Is Bloome free to start?
Yes — sign up free and you get a personal agent immediately, then connect Claude Code and install skills onto it. Usage is credit-based, so you top up as needed.
