Top 15 Claude skills

Fifteen skills. Eight repositories. Every link opened and checked on 28 July 2026.

A Claude skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file inside. It teaches Claude to do one job the way you would do it, and Claude loads it the moment your request matches. Write the spec once, and every project after that gets the same output without the same effort.

This resource maps fifteen of them onto the work that actually fills an architect's and an interior designer's week. Reading the rules on a site. Editing a render that already exists. Pricing a room schedule. Getting a door schedule out of a drawing set without retyping it.

What is inside

• The four skills already switched on inside your paid Claude account, and what to upload first
• Three skills for the early code work: zoning, environmental analysis, and a pre-check on marked-up plans
• Two skills for editing a render you already have, instead of rolling the dice on a new one
• The Revit MCP server, so you describe a change instead of clicking it
• A quantity and cost skill, plus a Gantt generator that skips scheduling software
• Three delivery-phase skills: door and window schedules into Excel, bid comparison, and spec drafting in your own voice
• Two copy-paste prompts you can run on a live job today
• The three install routes explained, so you know which ones take two minutes and which take an evening
• Where every one of these falls short, in plain language
• All eight repositories listed in one place with their licences

Who this is for

Practising architects, interior designers, BIM and documentation leads, and small studio principals who have tried ChatGPT on a drawing set and hit a ceiling.

What this is not

Not a course. Not a pack of 500 prompts. There is no software to buy inside it. Eleven of the fifteen are open source projects by other people, credited by name and licence, and each link goes to the maintained version so the authors get the star. Four are Anthropic's own document skills.

None of these replace your judgement. The zoning tool tells you to verify with the authority. The cost tool is not a QS's number. The code tool is a pre-check, not a certificate. You check the output the way you check a junior's work, because that is what it is.

Ten pages. PDF. Instant download.

Do not install all fifteen this weekend. Pick the one document you write again and again in the same shape, install that skill, and use it on your next real job.
