Skills & .md files · Question 6
How do you trigger a skill? Do you need the "/" prefix?
In Claude Code, type /skill-name. The slash is the explicit switch to treat the line as a skill command. Filename maps to command:generate-tweet.md → /generate-tweet.
You can also describe the task in plain language and Claude may pick the right skill—but if you want the same behavior every time, use the slash.
