How to Use Skills

In Claude.ai or Claude Desktop

1. Go to Settings > Skills
2. Click "Add skill repository"
3. Enter: https://github.com/ApeWorX/skills
4. Enable the skills you want to use

Once enabled, you can invoke skills by mentioning what you want to do:

• "Help me write a Silverback bot that..."
• "I need to get Uniswap prices for..."
• "Help me create a new Ape plugin for..."
• "I want to start a new blockchain project"

In Claude Code

When working in a project, you can invoke skills by asking Claude to help with specific tasks:

Use the Silverback skill to help me write a bot that monitors USDC transfers

Use the Uniswap skill to help me swap tokens on Ethereum mainnet

Help me architect a new Python blockchain project using the new-project skill

Skills are automatically discovered and loaded when you ask Claude for help with tasks they cover.

Best Practices

• Be specific about what you want to accomplish
• Mention requirements like which network, which tokens, what events to monitor
• Combine skills - For example, use Silverback to create a trading bot, then integrate Uniswap for DEX interactions
• Let Claude fetch docs - Skills automatically retrieve the latest documentation, so you always get current information

Marketplace Configuration

Skills are configured in .claude-plugin/marketplace.json for discovery and installation.

See individual skill documentation in ./development/, ./ape/, ./protocols/, and ./silverback/ directories.
