Grok Sharing Skills from Claude

 

I believe Grok Build will snag local Skills from Claude Code located in ~/.claude/skills automatically.  I want to test this out to make sure it’s a real thing.

My Claude Skill

In my ~/.claude/skills folder

> ls ~/.claude/skills/

 

I have a skill called temperature-in-tokyo, that will grab the current temperature in Tokyo and create a static web site on my drive in the /tmp folder and open it up in a web browser.

For example if I run it I get.

 

Before I start… I have run Grok a few times, but have not made any skills locally or copied anything over… So what is in my ~/.grok/skills folder?

 

> ls ~/.grok/skills/

 

It looks like there are a few default skills here, but nothing was copied directly from Claude Code and just placed in this folder.

From Grok I can run /skills to examine my skills

> /skills

 

  

From the Skills tab (default)

 

Hitting enter does open a description and in here it does show the path to the skill

 

It looks like I can run /temp just like in Claude Code and it will attempt to help and you can use tab to auto-complete

Let’s run it and see what happens

> /skills

 

 

 

Looks like it worked and I got very similar results!

 

 

Conclusions

Some of the future is now!  A few thigs like skill are becoming the standard.  The locations are now known by all other AI tools… So in the future it will be easy to jump from one AI to another… No Lock in!
