 Each skill is self-contained in its own directory with a `SKILL.md` file containing the instructions and metadata that Claude uses. Browse through these examples to get inspiration for your own skills or to understand different patterns and approaches.
 
+The example skills in this repo are open source (Apache 2.0). We've also included the document creation & editing skills that power [Claude's document capabilities](https://www.anthropic.com/news/create-files) under the hood in the [`document-skills/`](./document-skills/) folder. These are source-available, not open source, but we wanted to share these with developers as a reference for more complex skills that are actively used in a production AI application.

 **Important Disclaimer:** These document skills are point-in-time snapshots and are not actively maintained or updated. Versions of these skills ship pre-included with Claude.

+
+## Claude Code
+You can register this repository as a Claude Code Plugin marketplace by running the following command in Claude Code:
+```
+/plugin marketplace add anthropics/skills
+```
+
+Then, to install a specific set of skills:
+1. Select `Browse and install plugins`
+2. Select `anthropic-agent-skills`
+3. Select `document-skills` or `example-skills`
+4. Select `Install now`
+
+Alternatively, directly install either Plugin via:
+```
+/plugin install document-skills@anthropic-agent-skills
+/plugin install example-skills@anthropic-agent-skills
+```
+
+After installing the plugin, you can use the skill by just mentioning it. For instance, if you install the `document-skills` plugin from the marketplace, you can ask Claude Code to do something like: "Use the PDF skill to extract the form fields from path/to/some-file.pdf"
+
+## Claude.ai
+
+These example skills are all already available to paid plans in Claude.ai. 
+
+To use any skill from this repository or upload custom skills, follow the instructions in [Using skills in Claude](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/12512180-using-skills-in-claude#h_a4222fa77b).
+
+## Claude API
+
+You can use Anthropic's pre-built skills, and upload custom skills, via the Claude API. See the [Skills API Quickstart](https://docs.claude.com/en/api/skills-guide#creating-a-skill) for more.

 # Creating a Basic Skill
 
 Skills are simple to create - just a folder with a `SKILL.md` file containing YAML frontmatter and instructions. You can use the **template-skill** in this repository as a starting point:
