Claude's new "Record a skill" feature, announced by Cowork, allows users to demonstrate a task while speaking their thought process aloud, after which Claude organizes the demonstration into a reusable Skill. The feature is accessed via the Claude desktop app by opening Cowork, clicking the "+" icon next to the input box, and selecting "Record a skill." The official note states this feature supports Pro, Max, and Team plans. An example in the official diagram took only 23.4 seconds to record, producing a Skill named /file-expenses. Users who cannot find the entry point should update the app to the latest version and restart it; if it still does not appear, the feature likely has not been rolled out to their account, as many Pro users on Reddit reported not seeing the button initially before receiving access later. A Skill is a work instruction that Claude can reuse, specifying when to use it, which steps to follow, and how to handle exceptions, now extracted automatically from a user's demonstration rather than requiring manual instruction writing.
