How to turn any PDF into a Claude Skill

“Use the skill-creator to build a skill from the uploaded PDF. Activate when I ask Claude to [exact task]. Core steps: [paste]. Rules: [paste]. Mistakes to avoid: [paste]. Questions used: [paste]. Success looks like: [paste]. Do not use for: [2–3 unrelated tasks]. Ask me anything missing before generating the SKILL.md, then score the skill out of 10.”
Test the skill with different prompts, unrelated requests, and incomplete inputs to ensure it activates correctly and asks for clarification when needed.
Upload it in Claude through Settings → Capabilities → Skills → Upload
Now use your slash command whenever you want Claude to apply the PDF method.
