Getting Started

claude.ai Browser Setup

Run individual CCOS skills directly in your browser — no desktop app, no install. Best for single-purpose tasks that don’t need the full system.

You need the CCOS ZIP file to follow this guide. Download it below — this page will verify your active license. If you don’t have one yet, grab a license from the store.

  1. Unzip the CCOS file and find the skills folder

    Once you’ve downloaded the CCOS ZIP, unzip it. For this setup we’re going into the skills folder. Inside you’ll see subfolders for each plugin — and inside each subfolder are the individual skill ZIP files.

    • You won’t need the plugin-zips or marketplace folders — those are for Claude Cowork and other setups
    • Each skill is a standalone ZIP file you can install on its own
    • Keep the skills folder somewhere easy to find — you’ll be uploading files from it shortly

  2. Open the Skills page in claude.ai

    In your browser, go to the claude.ai skills page. You’ll need to be signed in to your Anthropic account.

    Open claude.ai/customize/skills

  3. Create a new skill and upload the ZIP

    On the Skills page, click the + icon, then click Create Skill, then choose Upload a Skill. Select one of the skill ZIP files from your skills folder.

    The claude.ai interface changes from time to time. The exact button labels may look slightly different, but the flow is the same: add → create → upload.

  4. Start with the cc-help skill

    We recommend adding the cc-help skill first. It acts as your guide inside Claude — it can recommend which skills to add next based on what you’re trying to do and help you figure out the best approach for any task.

  5. Try the skill in a chat

    Once a skill is installed, you can use it immediately. Click the three dots next to the skill on the Skills page and select “Try in chat” — or just open any chat and type the prompt below.

    Paste this into Claude
    Use the cc-help skill

  6. Add the cc-create-dna skill next

    Most CCOS skills look for your Creator DNA context files — information about your brand, audience, tone, and design. Even though you’re running skills individually in the browser, setting up your DNA makes every skill’s output dramatically better. Add the cc-create-dna skill and run it to get your context files set up.

    Paste this into Claude
    Use the cc-create-dna skill

  7. A few things to know about using skills in the browser

    Claude.ai is great for running focused, single-purpose skills. But there are a couple of differences from the desktop app worth knowing about.

    • Files Claude creates in the browser are called “Artifacts” — you’ll need to save or copy them yourself if you want to use them elsewhere
    • Each conversation is separate — if you need output from one skill in another, you’ll bring it across manually
    • This setup works best for individual tasks like building a lesson, creating a page, or running a single skill — for connected workflows where multiple plugins share context, Claude Cowork is the better option

You’re all set up. Time to build something.
