Setup Guide
From purchase to first skill in under 60 seconds.
Claude Code Setup
Claude Code is Anthropic's agentic tool for your terminal, IDE, and desktop. Here's how to install a pack.
Clone the pack repo
After purchase, you'll get a GitHub repo invite. Accept it and clone:
Copy files into your project
Copy the CLAUDE.md and skills into your project directory:
Already have a CLAUDE.md? Append the pack's content under a new section header instead of replacing it.
Start Claude Code
Open Claude Code in your project directory. It automatically reads CLAUDE.md and discovers all skills in .claude/skills/. No configuration needed. Try a skill:
Claude Cowork Setup
Claude Cowork is the non-technical counterpart — runs in the Claude desktop and web app. Same skills, visual interface.
Download the pack files
After purchase, download the pack from GitHub (or clone it). You need the CLAUDE.md file and the .claude/ folder.
Drop into your Cowork workspace
Open the Claude desktop app, switch to the Cowork tab, and drop the files into your workspace folder. Cowork picks up skills automatically.
Start using skills
Type a skill command or just describe what you need. Claude will match your request to the right skill automatically.
Connecting Your Tools
Skills work standalone, but they become powerful when connected to your real tools. Here's how to connect each service.
| Connector | Used By | How to Connect |
|---|---|---|
| Gmail | Ops, Marketing, Finance | claude.ai/settings → Connectors → Gmail → Authorize |
| Google Calendar | Ops, Developer | claude.ai/settings → Connectors → Google Calendar → Authorize |
| Slack | All packs (optional) | claude.ai/settings → Connectors → Slack → Authorize |
| Google Sheets | Finance, Marketing | claude.ai/settings → Connectors → Google Sheets → Authorize |
| Trello | Ops, Developer (optional) | Add via MCP settings in Claude Code |
| Web Search | Marketing, Creator, Finance | Available by default |
Don't worry about connecting everything upfront. Each skill checks for the connectors it needs and tells you exactly how to set them up if they're missing.
Using Skills
Invoke a skill
Type the skill name as a slash command. Claude loads the skill and follows its instructions.
First-time personalization
The first time you use a skill, Claude asks a few questions to personalize it for your business — your company name, clients, preferences, etc. These are saved to memory and reused on every future run. You only answer once.
Missing connector?
If a skill needs a connector you haven't set up, Claude will tell you exactly what's missing and how to connect it. It won't just fail — it guides you through the setup.
Skills work standalone
Every skill works without any connectors — you can provide data manually. Connectors add automation and save time, but they're never required to get value from a skill.
Combining Packs
Merged Mode
Combine all pack CLAUDE.md files into one. Append each pack's content under a section header. All skills from all packs live in .claude/skills/. One agent with every skill.
Team Mode
Create a separate project/workspace per pack. Each agent is focused on its domain. Switch between them depending on what you're working on.
Bundle buyers get all 5 packs. Most solopreneurs start with Merged Mode and split later if they want more focused agents.
Troubleshooting
Skill not showing up?
Make sure the SKILL.md file is at .claude/skills/skill-name/SKILL.md inside your project directory. Claude Code auto-discovers skills from this path.
Connector not working?
Go to claude.ai/settings and re-authenticate the connector. Make sure you're logged into Claude Code with the same account.
Claude doesn't know my business context?
Check that CLAUDE.md is in your project root. If you're using multiple packs, make sure all personality sections are in the same CLAUDE.md file.
