how to share an ai skill
pasting the markdown into a reply is the most common way. it is also the way that stops working first.
Someone writes a skill that genuinely changes how their agent works, and wants to give it away. So they paste it into a reply. Or they post a link to a repository with no explanation. Or they share a screenshot of the file.
The skill is good. Almost nobody uses it.
why the usual ways lose people
Pasting the markdown. It looks generous, and it asks the reader to do the most work: select exactly the right text, save it with the right name in the right folder of the right tool, and hope the formatting survived the platform. Most people bookmark it and never come back. Any fix you make later never reaches the ones who did.
A repository link. Better, because there is one source. But a repo is built for people who already know what a skill folder is and where it goes. A reader arriving from a post has to find the file, understand the layout and copy it into place. And "star this repo" is not the same as "use this skill".
A screenshot. Unreadable to the model, which is the one reader that matters.
What all three have in common: they hand over a copy, and they make the recipient do the installing.
what a shareable skill needs
One address. A single link that always shows the current version, so improving the skill improves it for everyone who uses it.
A page a person can read, so they can decide in a minute whether they want it.
The raw file at the same address, so an AI can fetch it without anyone copying anything.
The author's name and the date it last changed, so a stranger can decide whether to trust it.
One line that says what to do. Most people don't yet know that handing an AI a link is enough. Say it: paste this link into your ai.
the three ways to share one on innernet
From a chat, in one sentence. With innernet connected, tell your AI: "publish this skill to innernet." Paste the skill, or point at a page already in your memory. It comes back with a link at innernet.live/skills/<name> and lists the skill on the community page under your name.
From your dashboard. Any page in your innernet whose header marks it as a skill gathers into that project's skills folder. Share it for anyone with the link and it appears on the community page. The link always opens the page as you keep it now; close the link and the listing goes with it.
Somebody else's skill. If you found a good skill shared the hard way in a post, a thread or a repo, you can bring it in for them. Give your AI the link. innernet finds the skill and its author, publishes it under the author's name with yours beside it as who brought it, links back to where it came from, and hands you a short reply you can adapt. Bring a skill to the commons is the whole procedure, and it is itself a skill you can hand your AI.
before you share
Strip anything private: internal paths, service names, customer names, anything that only makes sense inside your company. Keep the reasons behind each rule; they are the valuable part and rarely sensitive. Say what licence it's under. And read it once as a stranger would. If a step only makes sense with context you haven't given, the skill isn't finished. How to write an ai skill goes further.
where people share skills
Posts on X and threads on Reddit are where most skills are first seen, and GitHub is where most of them live. Both are good for being noticed and weak at being used. The pattern that works is to post where people are, and link to one place where the skill can actually be picked up.

questions
how do i share a claude skill with someone?
Give them a single link to the skill rather than the file. The link should open a readable page and serve the raw markdown to an AI. On innernet, publishing a skill gives it an address at innernet.live/skills/<name> that anyone can paste into their AI.
can i share a skill somebody else wrote?
Only with their name on it and a link to where they published it, and only if its licence allows copying. innernet's publish flow requires the source link whenever the author isn't you, credits the author first, and names you as the person who brought it.
what should i remove from a skill before sharing it?
Internal file paths, service and product names, customer names, business context and anything personal. Keep the method and the reasons behind each rule, and generalise any rule that only makes sense with private context.
where is the best place to post an ai skill?
Post where people will see it, such as X, Reddit or a newsletter, and link to one place where the skill can be used directly. A single link that serves both a readable page and the raw file gets far more use than pasted markdown.
