Skills

This is FashionUnited's curated collection of Claude skills, adapted from Anthropic's official skills repository with customizations specific to our B2B fashion platform.

Skills are folders of instructions, scripts, and resources that Claude loads dynamically to improve performance on specialized tasks. Skills teach Claude how to complete specific tasks in a repeatable way, whether that's creating documents with your company's brand guidelines, analyzing data using your organization's specific workflows, or automating personal tasks.

About This Repository

This repository contains skills customized for FashionUnited's use with Claude Skills. These skills range from creative applications (art, design) to technical tasks (testing web apps, MCP server generation) to enterprise workflows (communications, branding, etc.).

Key FashionUnited Customizations:

• brand-guidelines - Updated with FashionUnited's rose color palette, typography, and Material Design standards
• Additional skills may be customized or added based on FashionUnited-specific workflows

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 based on Anthropic's open source skills (Apache 2.0). We've also included the document creation & editing skills in the document-skills/ folder as reference examples, created by Anthropic.

Note: This repository is maintained by FashionUnited for internal use and customized to our platform's needs.

These skills are provided for demonstration and educational purposes only. While some of these capabilities may be available in Claude, the implementations and behaviors you receive from Claude may differ from what is shown in these examples. These examples are meant to illustrate patterns and possibilities. Always test skills thoroughly in your own environment before relying on them for critical tasks.
