Install the Claude Code Skill skill

Skills CLI (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and others)

npx skills add https://github.com/codeaashu/claude-code --skill claude-code-skill

Claude Code, by hand (all projects)

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/codeaashu/claude-code.git /tmp/claude-code
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/claude-code ~/.claude/skills/claude-code-skill

For one project only, copy the folder into .claude/skills/ in that project instead. The agent picks it up when a task matches its description.

What it costs your context

Agent Skills load in three steps. Tokens counted with the o200k tokenizer; your model's count will differ a little.

When	What loads	Cost
Every session	Name and description	18 tok
When the agent uses it	The SKILL.md instructions	2,336 tok
Only if opened	13 bundled files (35 KB)	varies

Until it is used, claude-code-skill costs about 76× less than the median MCP server we measured (1,363 tokens on every turn). Skills vs MCP study
