Commands
All commands run inside a Claude Code session. Pound also has a CLI for managing your skills.
#
Fetch and activate a skill for the current session. Claude immediately starts following its instructions.
#code-reviewer
Or if you need you need a specific skill you can get it by username:
#frank/code-reviewer
#search
Search the registry by describing the skill you are looking for. Returns the most relevant public skills plus your own.
#search write integration tests using nock
#search git workflow
You can activate and combine multiple skills simultaneously in one session — just run #<skill-name> again with a different skill.
#create
Start a guided skill creation flow. Instead of writing a skill file by hand, #create walks you through the whole process — what the skill should do, how it should behave, and what to call it.
#create
The flow works like this:
- Pound asks what you want the skill to do
- You can provide context through files/folders and prompts
- It helps you write, refine and iterate on the instructions
- Once you're happy with it, you choose if the skill should be public or private
- It uploads it to Pound automatically
#list
Browse skills three ways:
#list # top 10 most popular skills
#list mine # your own skills (public and private)
#list <username> # public skills of any user
#add
Upload a skill directly from your Claude Code session. The path can be a single .md file, a .zip, or a directory containing a SKILL.md at its root — Pound builds the zip bundle for you.
#add ./my-skill.md # a single-file skill
#add ./my-skill # a directory (multi-file skill)
Pound will then ask you two things:
- Public or private? Public skills are discoverable by anyone via
#searchand require a GitHub-linked account — runpound signupfirst. Private skills are only accessible to you and work from any account, including the anonymous one created on install. - Skill name (slug)? Pound reads the
name:from yourSKILL.md, or you can suggest one. The server normalizes it to a clean slug (e.g.My Cool Skill→my-cool-skill) — that slug is what others use to activate your skill:#code-reviewer.
