What are the 7 Claude Code skills in The First Seven?
one block eachThe 7 skills help you build, set preferences, verify work, test plans, extract text, improve writing and tailor a resume.
Something You Built
first-build
When you think, "I do not know where to start," this skill picks one job you already do by hand and helps you finish a small working project inside an hour.
Claude That Knows You
remember-my-rules
When Claude keeps forgetting how you like things, this skill creates a CLAUDE.md that records your preferences and gets read at the start of future sessions.
What It Actually Did
prove-it
When you wonder whether the work succeeded, this skill checks every claim it can, reports the results in plain language, and identifies anything it could not verify.
Your Plan's Weak Points
grill-my-plan
Before you commit time or money, this skill finds the assumption your plan depends on, the cost you missed, and the conditions where the plan fails.
Words Out Of Pictures
extract-text
Give this skill a screenshot, photo, scan or PDF. It returns the text and marks uncertain words instead of quietly guessing them.
Your Voice, Easier To Read
make-it-readable
When people do not read your posts, this skill makes the draft clearer while keeping your own sentences and the way you naturally speak.
A Resume For This Job
tailor-my-resume
Give this skill one job advertisement and your resume. It produces an honest version tailored to that role, plus a clear note on the gaps you should prepare to discuss.
You need enough range to see what Claude Code can do without facing a catalogue you will never finish. These 7 skills cover building, remembering, checking, planning, extracting, rewriting and applying for work, so you can begin with a problem you already have. The small set helps you finish one useful result, learn what good instructions feel like and choose your next project with evidence.
Which Claude Code skill should I run first?
the order that worksRun first-build first and remember-my-rules straight after. The first gives you a useful result, and the second records how Claude should work with you.
Begin with a job you understand well enough to judge. After you finish the small project, record what helped, what irritated you and what Claude should do differently next time.
