Document generation
Skills that turn structured inputs into finished documents — proposals, SOPs, reports, briefs — in your voice and your format. With verification that the output is internally consistent before it ships.
Skills we built to ship faster. Skills we can build for you.
Claude Skills package the parts of a workflow that should never be done by hand again. We use them to ship our own work — here's what they can do for yours.
What is a Claude Skill?
A Claude Skill is a packaged capability that extends what Anthropic's Claude can do in a specific workflow. Specifically, a Skill bundles: triggering rules (when to fire), a procedure (what to do), required inputs and tools, and verification steps that confirm the work landed correctly. The result is a general-purpose assistant that behaves like a specialist when the right kind of task shows up.
Skills work where most automation breaks down: tasks that need judgment, that vary case to case, and that humans are still tempted to do by hand because templates and macros fall apart at the edges.
Use-case categories we build Skills for
Every Skill is custom, but most fall into one of these categories.
Workflow orchestration
Skills that run multi-step processes: intake, classification, routing, follow-up. The Skill handles the shape of the work; humans approve the decisions that matter.
Integration glue
Skills that wrap APIs, file systems, databases, and MCP servers so Claude can do real work in your stack — not just talk about it.
Knowledge retrieval
Skills that know where your information lives and retrieve the right slice on demand. Useful when "search the docs" isn't enough and "remember everything" isn't possible.
Code & config automation
Skills that handle repetitive engineering work: migrations, scaffolding, audit sweeps, dependency updates — with the discipline to verify their own output before reporting done.
Quality & compliance review
Skills that check work against a rubric — a style guide, a security policy, a regulatory checklist — and flag what needs human attention before sign-off.
Skills make sense for you if…
- You have a workflow your team does the same way every time, and it's a tax on people who should be doing higher-leverage work.
- You've tried templates and macros and they keep breaking on the edge cases.
- You've considered a custom GPT, but you actually need something that does work — not just answers questions about it.
- You want the Skill to belong to you, not be locked behind a platform you don't control.
- You want output you can trust: verified, repeatable, and consistent.
If three or more of these match how your team works, a custom Skill is likely the right next step.
How a custom-Skill build works with us
- Discovery. A working session where we trace the actual workflow, identify the boring parts, and find where judgment still needs a human.
- Scoping. A short written scope: what the Skill does, what stays human, inputs, outputs, verification rules, timeline, and price.
- Build. We build the Skill against your real workflow scenarios. Evals run from day one so we can measure when it's working and where it isn't.
- Handoff. Documentation, examples your team can run, and a clean ownership model. The Skill is yours.
We don't publish our build patterns. The Skills are the work product; the methods are how we deliver reliably.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Claude Skill?
A Claude Skill is a packaged capability that extends what Anthropic's Claude can do in a specific workflow. Skills add domain knowledge, procedures, and tool integrations that turn a general-purpose assistant into a specialist for a particular job.
How are Skills different from a custom GPT or agent?
Custom GPTs are conversational personas, typically chat-first. Skills are workflow-first: they trigger on the right kind of task, run a procedure, and return a result. Many real systems use both.
Can I see the Skills GDK Digital uses internally?
We share use-case categories and outcomes publicly. We do not publish the internals of the Skills we use to run our delivery; those are how we ship reliably and stay private to GDK Digital and to the clients we build for.
Will a custom Skill work with my existing tools?
Most of the time, yes. Skills can wrap APIs, file systems, databases, and Anthropic-supported MCP servers. The integration story is part of the discovery conversation.
How much does a custom Skill cost to build?
Pricing is set per engagement after the discovery conversation, because every Skill build has different scope. We do not publish hardcoded rates on this page. Current rates and any available trials live on our pricing page.
Do I own the Skill after you build it?
Yes. You own the Skill, its prompts, and any custom data wrapped into it. We don't lock client work behind our platform.
