The DaFinchy Skills Library

What you get

A single download holding every one of the 625 skills, in two forms — because different people work in different ways.

• START-HERE.html — double-click it and the whole library opens in your browser. Search it, filter by category, tap a skill to read it, hit copy. No internet needed, nothing to install, no account.
• 625 separate .md files — so you can hand the whole lot to your AI at once and let it pick the right one for you. See below.
• A README with the five-minute setup, and what to do if you use ChatGPT or Claude in a browser instead.

What a skill actually is

A set of instructions you hand your AI once, so it stops guessing. Instead of typing “write me a product description” and getting something bland, you give it the Product Description Writer — and it asks you the right questions, works in a sensible order, and hands back something you would actually publish. Same AI. Completely different answer.

You never have to remember 625 names

This is the bit that matters, and it takes about five minutes to set up.

• Make a folder called CLAUDE in your Documents or on your Desktop. Inside it, one called SKILLS.
• Put the files in it. That is the install finished — nothing to run, nothing to configure.
• Tell your AI where that folder is, once. Then just ask, in your own words.

For example:

• “List all the skills we have in our SKILLS folder.”
• “Choose a skill from our SKILLS folder — don’t ask me which one — and use it to create a sellable digital product about getting fit in ten minutes a day.”
• “Use whichever skill fits best and write the product description for my handmade leather dog collars.”

You do not pick the skill — the AI does. No file paths to hunt for, no skill names to learn, no working out which one fits. That is the job it should be doing for you, and it is why having 625 of them is a good thing rather than an overwhelming one.

What you will preferably need

An AI to run these in — and ideally the desktop app rather than a browser tab. The desktop versions can work with files on your own computer, which is what makes the folder method above so quick. The browser versions are the limited ones.

• Claude for desktop — what these were written against, and the easiest to point at a folder.
• ChatGPT for desktop — includes Codex, and works fine with these too.

Both are free to install and you sign in with the account you already have. Nothing here needs a paid plan to try.

What is in there

625 skills across 22 categories: content and copywriting, email marketing, social media, sales and funnels, operations, legal and compliance, HR, finance and pricing, launches, e-commerce, events, branding, analytics, ads, courses, SEO, client work, web and performance, and a few odds and ends.

You can read every single one by name before you spend a penny — see the whole list here. No mystery box.

Try five of them free

If you would rather see them working first, take five free — real skills out of this library, not cut-down samples, with the same setup written out step by step. If they earn their keep, come back.

Before you buy — honestly

• These are instructions for an AI, not software. You need an AI to run them in — ChatGPT or Claude — and whatever you pay for that is between you and them. We do not sell you an AI and we take no cut of one.
• The folder trick needs an AI that can read a folder on your computer, such as Claude Code. In a browser, ChatGPT and Claude limit how many files you can load into a project — so there you use the dashboard to find what you need and paste it, which takes seconds.
• They will not do your thinking for you. A skill makes the AI ask better questions and work in order. What comes out still has your business in it, so the answers you give it matter.
• Written in British English, for a UK solo business. They work fine anywhere, but if you are in the States you will want to change the odd spelling.
• Yours to use, not to resell. Use them for your own work and your clients’ work for as long as you like. Passing the files on is what turns a one-off price into a monthly one for everybody else.

Already have Leo?

The library is built into DaFinchy Leo as well — say “Hey Leo, use the product description skill” and he works as it, hands-free.
