How to install Draft Outreach (Sales) in Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Grok

Claude

  1. Download the skill from its source. A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file inside; zip that folder if it is not zipped already.
  2. Open Customize (or Settings), then Skills.
  3. Upload the skill ZIP as it is. Do not unzip it.
  4. Switch it on. Claude uses it whenever a request matches its description.

Team and Enterprise owners may need to allow skills first.

Gemini Enterprise

  1. Download the skill from its source. A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file inside; zip that folder if it is not zipped already.
  2. In the Gemini Enterprise web app, click Skills in the menu.
  3. Click +, then Upload skill, pick the skill ZIP and click Import.
  4. Call it with / in a chat, or let Gemini pick it up on its own.

Standard, Plus and Pay-as-you-go editions can upload. An admin has to switch skills on first.

Gemini CLI or Antigravity

  1. Download the skill from its source. A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file inside; zip that folder if it is not zipped already.
  2. Unzip it into .gemini/skills/ in your project, or ~/.gemini/skills/ for every project. .agents/skills/ works too.
  3. Start a new session. Gemini finds the skill and asks before it switches it on.

ChatGPT

  1. Download the skill from its source. A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file inside; zip that folder if it is not zipped already.
  2. In the sidebar, click Plugins, then the Skills tab.
  3. Click Create, then Upload from your computer, and pick the skill ZIP.
  4. ChatGPT scans it, then uses it on its own or when you @ mention it.

Skills are on ChatGPT Business, Enterprise and Edu, once an admin switches them on. On Free, Plus or Pro, paste the SKILL.md text into a Project or GPT's instructions instead.

Grok

  1. Download the skill from its source. A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file inside; zip that folder if it is not zipped already.
  2. Grok Bot has no SKILL.md upload button yet. Paste the SKILL.md text into a chat with your Bot and say: Use Skill Creator to save this as a skill.
  3. Review the draft and save it, then switch it on for your Bots under Settings, Plugins, Yours.
  4. Call it with / in a chat.

Using Grok Build, xAI's coding agent? Unzip the folder into .grok/skills/ instead.

Gemini app

  1. Download the skill from its source. A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file inside; zip that folder if it is not zipped already.
  2. The regular Gemini app has no skill upload, so make a Gem.
  3. Paste everything in SKILL.md below the top block into the Gem's instructions.

Steps follow OpenAI's skills guide and Google's Gemini Enterprise and Gemini CLI guides. Menu names change, so check there if a label looks different. Claude Code reads skills from ~/.claude/skills/.
