# Publish skills through Claude Code

> Use Atlan MCP in Claude Code to inventory local skills, confirm a batch, and create Registry artifacts.

# Publish skills through Claude Code

Use Claude Code when the skill folders are already in the repository you are
working in and you want an agent to prepare the batch. MCP writes Registry
artifacts. It does not install the resulting skills into Claude Code.

## Before you start

Connect Claude Code to Atlan MCP and confirm that the target workspace is
available to your identity. See [Claude Code](/integrations/claude-code) for
setup and connection checks.

The skill folders must be available in the repository. Each one needs a
`SKILL.md` file. Do not ask an agent to upload secrets, customer data, or files
outside the skill packages.

## Start a session and inventory

Start with session setup and read-only discovery. The session is recorded for
review, but the request does not create or change a skill:

```text theme={null}
Connect to Atlan MCP and start a session. List the available artifact kinds,
then inspect ./skills for folders containing SKILL.md. Report the skill names,
source folders, and the workspace I can use. Do not create or change skills.
```

Review the list, the target workspace, and any naming conflicts. The live MCP
tool list and schemas returned to Claude Code are authoritative.

## Confirm the batch

Only after the inventory is correct, send a bounded confirmation:

```text theme={null}
I approve creating these skills in workspace workspace_123: release-notes and
incident-brief. Bundle only those two folders. Use registry__create_artifacts
with kind skill, create no more than 100 items in a call, and return every
source folder with its result. Do not retry failures or make any other changes.
```

`registry__create_artifacts` writes state and runs the skill kind's create
hooks. One rejected item does not roll back skills that succeeded, so inspect
each returned result before continuing.

## Verify and use the skill

Open each created skill in Atlan and confirm its version and source files. A
Registry skill is not installed into Claude Code just because MCP created it.
Use the selected-skill handoff after review when you want to use a skill in a
Claude Code task.
