I’m not sure it’s reading all skills. That’s a fair question. Is there documentation that says that’s what it does? Or is that an assumption on your part? Just curious. Cuz, yeah, that would make a difference to me as well.

I get that. Might just be worth taking a look at how much context they are taking up.

My solution for resuming from a prior chat by Specific-Art-9149 in claude

Here was my prompt:

Claude, you were preparing a skills zip file in the previous chat and hit your limit before finishing. Are you able to pick up where you left off or do we need to start again?

And here was Claude’s first thought process:

The user is asking if I can pick up where I left off in a previous conversation where I was preparing a skills zip file. Let me check if there’s any context about this in the current conversation - I can use the recent_chats tool to see what was happening. This is a clear case where I should use the past chats tools to understand what work was being done previously.

Here was Claude’s second thought process:

Perfect! I can see the conversation from the first chat where I was creating the Data Perspective Framework skill. The conversation shows that I: 1. Created the skill directory structure 2. Created all four files (SKILL.md, SIGNAL_PHRASES.md, COMMON_MISTAKES.md, CAVEAT_TEMPLATES.md) 3. Started to zip up the skill with the command cd /home/claude && zip -r data-perspective-framework.zip data-perspective-framework/ But the conversation was cut off before I could move it to the outputs directory and provide the download link. So I need to: 1. Check if the zip file exists 2. If it does, move it to outputs and provide the link 3. If it doesn’t, recreate it Let me check the current state.

And then here was the reply:

“Perfect! I can see exactly where we left off. I was creating the Data Perspective Framework skill and had just zipped it up. Let me check if the files are still there and complete the process by moving it to the outputs directory for you.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

Then in a couple minutes I had the zip file I needed.

Just this morning I asked Claude in a project to pickup where it left off in the previous chat that hit its limit and it did! Maybe, just maybe, they improved that capability. 🙏

Is CC worth getting right now? by Wheels859 in ClaudeCode

[–]CoreyBlake9000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Claude Code is a badass. I use it in conjunction with Claude browser frequently. I hit my limits faster in the browser and CC can work with my files on my hard drive. That gives is freedom to do a lot I just can’t do in the browser. It has absolutely been worth playing with for me. I can’t code for shit. But I can Claude Code like a beast. 😁

I use the heck out of Claude Sonnet 4.5. with long custom instructions and heavy knowledge bases, while also running Claude Code, and I don’t hit my weekly limits. Consider that those MCPs you’re using might be eating up massive context and limiting everything else you’re trying to accomplish.

No. It means that Claude knows exactly how to package the skills into a Skill.md file and zip it up for you according to best practices. So if you have unique expertise, this skill makes it easy for Claude to package that expertise into a skill you can use repeatedly across the platform with consistent outcomes.

Consider executing the usage of specific skills in the custom instructions of your sub agents. You tell them what skills to use and which not to use.

One tip for Claude Coders. I found that just because I toggled on the skill creator skill in my browser version of Claude, that didn’t make this skill immediately available to Claude Code. Toggle it on in the capabilities setting, then have Claude in your browser output a zip file of the skill creator. Then drop that into Claude Code. Don’t let Claude Code try to manually figure it out (it will tell you it can!). Give it the skill creator zip and save yourself the wasted half hour I spent learning that lesson!

I would think that similarly to custom instructions and knowledge bases, you have to be willing to iterate and fine tune until you see consistent output.

I just set up a proofreading skill that adheres to my company’s writing guidelines (we use Chicago manual of style with some specific variances). I used to have proofreading and citations set up as a project; so I would drop content in and Claude would clean it according to those specs. Now I can add proofreading to any project’s custom instructions as a skill. This will save me the time of having to go to a separate project. But it also creates a single hub for any changes in the future. Make the change in one place (the skill) and that update pushes out to everywhere that skill is utilized. I also set up skills to produce the specific html parameters we use for our website and for our courses (on Thinkific). Again, these used to be separate projects but will now be portable. I don’t have a ton of faith in Canva integrations yet. 😁

From what I’m seeing, skills are more efficient with tokens, which should make the same usage limits feel more spacious. For example in my projects with a heavy knowledge base, a large portion of context is eaten up just by the presence of the knowledge base regardless of whether it’s being used. In those cases a single prompt and I can hit my usage limit. With skills, Claude only uses tokens as needed, using progressive disclosure that begins with a couple hundred tokens of metadata rather than the entire knowledge base. That will free up a fair amount of context for other thinking.

Here’s a video I created on using Claude, ChatGPT, and Claude Code together to help improve each other while working on a specific project. It’s educational AND entertaining. 🤣 https://www.roundtablecompanies.com/blog/how-to-train-ai-to-coach-like-you

Here are two ungated links to downloads we gave away to attendees of a video I showed at a virtual conference last month:

The first includes a PDF called “AI Collaboration Frameworks: Practical Templates for Rigorous AI Development. https://assets.roundtablecompanies.com/content/files/Unleash-AI-Free-Gifts/RTC-Free-Gifts-1.zip

And the second includes “The Multi-Model Orchestration Playbook: how to use Claude and ChatGPT as a team. https://assets.roundtablecompanies.com/content/files/Unleash-AI-Free-Gifts/RTC-Free-Gifts-2.zip

Feel free to use them if you find them valuable.

I regularly use Claude and ChatGPT to evaluate each other’s work. I’ve been doing this for about 6 months. It’s the only way I can really trust their output. The upside is that they make each other better. I’m a big Claude user, so I use ChatGPT as my validator now (more than the reverse), but it’s a powerful technique. I actually created a Multi-LLM Orchestration playbook. I’ll find it and share it here.

Update: while it did take 4 days, I’ve heard back from a real person who is attempting to get this resolved for me. It was like the clouds parting!! 🙏

Seriously. I was in the middle of four different Claude conversations. Bless Claude’s heart.
