Exporting as Markdown or Skills

Export prompts in formats optimized for different tools and workflows.

Export formats

JeffreysPrompts supports several export formats:

  • Plain text — Just the prompt content
  • Markdown — Prompt with title, description, and metadata
  • Claude Code Skill — SKILL.md format for Claude Code
  • JSON — Machine-readable with all metadata

Exporting a single prompt

When viewing a prompt, click the Export button and choose your format. The file will download to your computer.

Exporting multiple prompts

To export multiple prompts at once:

  1. Add prompts to your basket
  2. Open your basket
  3. Click "Export all"
  4. Choose your format

When exporting multiple prompts, you'll get a ZIP file containing one file per prompt.

Claude Code Skills format

Claude Code is Anthropic's CLI coding agent. It supports custom Skills defined in SKILL.md files.

When you export a prompt as a Claude Code Skill:

  • The file is named SKILL.md
  • It includes YAML frontmatter with name and description
  • The prompt content is formatted for Claude Code
  • Usage instructions and examples are included

Installing a Skill

To use an exported Skill with Claude Code:

  1. Create a directory for your skill (e.g., ~/.claude/skills/my-skill/)
  2. Move the SKILL.md file into that directory
  3. The skill is now available in Claude Code
