Convert a Claude skill to an Agentic studio skill

You can convert an existing Claude skill into a custom skill in Agentic studio. This lets you reuse your skill's instructions without recreating them from scratch.

To convert a Claude skill, you need to:

  • Use Claude to convert the existing skill instructions.
  • Create a custom skill in Agentic studio using the converted instructions.
  • Test the skill to make sure it works as expected.

Convert the skill in Claude

First, use Claude to convert your existing skill into a format supported by Agentic studio.

To convert the skill in Claude:

  1. Open Claude.

  2. Go to Settings.

  3. In Customize, go to Skills and find the skill you want to convert.

  4. Copy the skill's name. For example, sitecoreai-page-creator. Find the skill you want to convert and copy its name

  5. Copy the following prompt into Claude, replacing {NAME-OF-YOURSKILL} with the name of your skill:

    Rewrite this Claude Code skill so a person can paste it into the Agentic Studio skill editor. Read the existing {NAME-OF-YOURSKILL} and any references before writing.

Return exactly three blocks:
Name: <short title>
Description: <one line saying what the skill does and when to open it>
Markdown:

<the full instructions to paste into the content box>

Markdown rules:
- Start with one H1 that matches Name. No YAML frontmatter.
- Then: when to use it, Procedure, Output, Quality Checks.
- Fold the important reference material into the same document under clear headings. This paste is one body.
- Tell the agent to use bash, readFile, and writeFile. Product data is read through the Sitecore context tool.
- Remove Claude-only instructions: the Skill tool, hooks, plugins, MCP setup, allowed-tools, model pinning, subagents, and local machine paths.
- Leave scripts and binary assets out. If a script is required for a correct result, add a short note at the end naming it and what it did.
- Keep the original procedure, output contract, and quality bar. Do not invent new business rules.

  6. Claude generates three sections:

    • Name - the skill's title.
    • Description - a short explanation of what the skill does and when to use it.
    • Markdown - the converted skill instructions.

    Review the generated content to make sure it preserves the original workflow, includes the required sections and reference information, and removes Claude-specific instructions.

    Important

    The conversion transfers skill instructions only. It does not transfer scripts, binary assets, or Claude-specific functionality. Make sure any required dependencies are available in Agentic studio.

Create a skill in Agentic studio

After converting the skill, use the generated content to create a custom skill in Agentic studio.

Before you begin
  • Make sure you have a Builder License. This license is required to create skills in Agentic studio.

To create a skill:

  1. In the navigation menu, click Agentic and then, in the left sidebar, click Skills.

  2. On the Skills page, click Create skill.

  3. Complete the following fields:

    • Name - paste the generated name from Claude, such as SitecoreAI Page Creator.
    • Description - paste the generated description.
    • Tags (optional) - add keywords to help organize and find the skill.
    • In the SKILL.md editor, paste the generated Markdown instructions. On the Skills tab, select your converted skill.

  4. Click Create Skill.

    Your converted skill is now available as a custom skill in Agentic studio.

    Note

    If your original Claude skill uses additional references, data sources, or configurations, you can manually edit the converted skill in Agentic studio to add or configure them as needed.

Test the converted skill in Agentic studio

After creating the skill and making any necessary updates, test it to verify that it follows the expected instructions and produces the correct output.

  1. Open the Agentic studio chat interface.

  2. Start a new chat.

  3. Optionally, select an agent, such as Content Generator.

  4. Click Skills & Tools

  5. On the Skills tab, select your converted skill, such as SitecoreAI Page Creator. On the Skills tab, select your converted skill.

  6. Enter a prompt describing what you want the skill to do.

    For example:

    Create a new product page for my autumn sale product.

  7. If you're using an agent, configure any required parameters, such as target languages or content channels.

  8. Optionally, add supporting information, such as related items or uploaded files.

  9. Press Cmd + Enter (macOS) or Ctrl + Enter (Windows) to submit the prompt.

  10. Review the result to confirm that the skill follows the original procedure and produces the expected output. If necessary, update the skill instructions in Agentic studio and test again.
