Install in Claude Code

Claude Code reads a SkillPlug pack as a skill and saves your progress as real files, so it is one of the best places to run a pack.

These steps use the Step 1 pack. For another pack, swap in its folder name (step2-pack, aways-pack, or skillplug-weekly-planner).

1. Unzip and make a study folder

Unzip your download. You should see a folder named step1-pack.
Create a study folder, for example med-school-coach in your home folder. You will start Claude Code here every time.

2. Copy the pack into a skills folder

Pick one location:

Location	When to use it
`~/.claude/skills/step1-pack/`	The pack is available in every folder you open Claude Code in
`med-school-coach/.claude/skills/step1-pack/`	The pack is available only in your study folder

The easiest way is the Terminal. On a Mac, open the Terminal app and paste this (it assumes you unzipped into Downloads):

Terminal

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skillscp -R ~/Downloads/step1-pack ~/.claude/skills/

Prefer Finder?

Folders that start with a dot are hidden. In Finder, press Cmd + Shift + G, type ~/.claude, and press Return. Create a skills folder if there isn't one, then drag the whole step1-pack folder into it. On Windows, the same folder is C:\Users\<you>\.claude\skills.

Copy the whole folder. Claude Code registers the root SKILL.md, and the other files inside are supporting files it opens when needed.

3. Start your first session

In the Terminal, go to your study folder and start Claude Code:
Terminal
```
cd ~/med-school-coachclaude
```
Say: "Set me up for Step 1".
Answer the setup interview. Claude Code creates skillplug-state/ in your study folder and saves everything there.

Next time

Always start Claude Code in the same study folder. Then just talk to it: "Check in.", "Plan my day.", "Log today.", or "Show me my dashboard."

If the pack doesn't start

Make sure the path is exactly ~/.claude/skills/step1-pack/SKILL.md, not ~/.claude/skills/step1-pack/step1-pack/SKILL.md (unzipping can add an extra folder level).
Quit Claude Code and start it again so it picks up new skills.
