Getting Started with Skills

This guide walks you through adding an OriginalVoices skill to your AI assistant in under a minute.

Prerequisites

An AI assistant that supports skills (e.g. Claude, Manus)
OriginalVoices connected to your assistant (setup guides)

Step 1: Download a Skill

Browse the Skills Library and click the download link for the skill you want. Each skill is a single .md file.

Step 2: Upload the Skill

Upload the downloaded .md file to your AI assistant.

Open claude.ai and go to Settings
Scroll to the Skills section
Click Add skill
Select Upload a skill
Choose the .md file you downloaded

That's it - the skill is now active in your account.

Step 3: Use the Skill

Start a new conversation and ask naturally. Your AI assistant automatically recognises when a skill is relevant and activates it.

For example, with the Deep Customer Research skill installed, just ask:

"I need to understand what parents think about screen time management apps. Research parents aged 28-45 in the US with children under 12."

The assistant will follow the skill's structured workflow - designing research questions, querying OriginalVoices Digital Twins, analysing responses, and delivering a full research report.

TIP

You don't need to mention the skill by name. The AI reads the skill descriptions and activates the right one based on what you're asking.
