:::hint{type="info"}
As Make Skills is in open beta, functionality may change. 
:::

Make Skills are file-based resources you can give your AI assistant so it can reliably perform Make-specific tasks, including building scenarios, configuring modules, and connecting to Make MCP server or third-party services. 

## How Make Skills work 

Make Skills are individual zip files that contain markdown files (`.md`) with reference information, best practices, and instructions on Make-specific topics. 

These steps describe how they work:

1. Give your AI assistant Make Skills via a zip file or plugin. 
2. Connect to [Make MCP server](https://help.make.com/make-mcp-server) or your [MCP toolbox](https://help.make.com/mcp-toolboxes). 
3. In the chat or command line, ask your assistant to perform a Make-specific task, for example, "Create a scenario that watches unread emails." 
4. The assistant reviews its available Make Skills for guidance.
5. The assistant calls the right tools through the Make MCP server to complete the task. 

## Types of Make Skills 

You can give your AI assistant any of the following skills, depending on your goals.

| **Skill**                | **What it helps AI do**                                                         | **Best with**                              |

| **Module configuration** | Configure modules and related elements.                                         | Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and Claude.ai |
| **MCP referencing**      | Connect to Make MCP server and troubleshoot related issues.                     | Claude Code                                |
| **API shell workflow**   | Build connectors that call third-party services directly from the command line. | Claude Code                                |
