10 Free Claude Skills for Your Wardrobe

What a Claude Skill is

A Skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file in it. That is the whole format.

Inside that file is YAML frontmatter with two required fields — a name and a description — followed by ordinary markdown telling Claude how to do one job properly. Claude reads only the name and description until your request matches; then it loads the full instructions. That is why a folder of ten Skills costs you nothing in context until one of them is actually needed.

There is no code to run, no API key, nothing to trust with your data. Everything below is a plain text file you can read start to finish in two minutes before you install it — and we would rather you did.

These ten are deliberately the unglamorous half. None of them picks an outfit, reads your body shape or tells you what to wear today. Those are jobs for something that can see your clothes.

SKILL.md — the shape of it

name: dress-code-decoder
description: Decodes what a stated dress code
  actually requires for a specific event.
  Use when someone has an invitation and is
  unsure what to wear.

# Dress Code Decoder

## What this does
...

Required frontmatter: name (64 characters max, lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens only) and description (1024 characters max). Everything after the second --- is yours.

How to install one

In Claude.ai or the desktop app

Turn on code execution

Custom skills run in Claude's code execution sandbox, so that capability has to be switched on — it is the same one that lets Claude create and edit files. Skills are available on every claude.ai plan, Free included; on Team and Enterprise an owner switches them on for the organisation.
Download the .zip

Every skill below has its own zip. Each contains a single folder with a SKILL.md inside it — that folder structure matters, so upload the zip as-is rather than unpacking it.
Upload the zip in your skills settings

Open the skills section of your Claude settings, add a skill and select the zip — Anthropic's own guide has the current click path, which moves as the UI changes. A skill you upload stays private to your account; on Team and Enterprise, owners can also provision skills for everyone in the organisation.
Enable it, then just ask

Switch the skill on in that same list. From then on you describe the job in plain language — Claude matches it against the description and loads the skill itself.

In Claude Code

Unzip into your personal skills folder

Personal skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ and are available in every project. One directory per skill, each holding its SKILL.md.
Or scope it to one repo

Drop the same folder in .claude/skills/ inside a project and commit it, and the skill exists only for that repository — and for everyone else who clones it.
The folder name is the command

~/.claude/skills/dress-code-decoder/SKILL.md gives you /dress-code-decoder. You can also just describe the task and let Claude pick the skill.
No restart needed, usually

Claude Code watches these directories, so a skill added mid-session works immediately. The exception: if ~/.claude/skills/ did not exist when you started, restart once so it can be watched.

All ten, in one go

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
unzip ~/Downloads/stylin-wardrobe-skills.zip -d ~/.claude/skills

Claude handles the paperwork.
Stylin handles how it looks on you.

These skills are deliberately blind. They can price a coat, decode its care label and write its resale listing, but none of them can see it on you. That is the other half of the job: Stylin builds outfits from the clothes you actually own, on your actual body shape. Free on iPhone.
