Mission 3 — Expansion

You already installed Claude Code. You already connected Terminal Church. Now it's time to expand what it knows how to do.

That's what a skill does.

What is a skill

Think of it this way: Claude Code by default is intelligent but generic. It doesn't know how you prefer to work, what tools you use, or what the context of your project is.

A skill is like giving it a specific instruction manual. You install it once and from then on, it follows those instructions automatically whenever you call it.

Examples of what skills do:

• Search the internet in a structured way
• Review texts in your voice
• Create social media posts following your style
• Organize tasks in a specific way

Installing your first skill

In the terminal with Claude Code open, say:

install the Terminal Church research skill

Claude will find and install it. When done, you'll see a confirmation.

Testing

Now say:

/pesquisa what is Claude Code

The /pesquisa is a slash command — a quick way to call a specific skill. Claude will do a structured search instead of just answering from what it knows.

Notice the difference. That's a skill in action.

How to find more skills

Terminal Church has a marketplace of skills created by the community. To explore:

show me the available skills in the Terminal Church marketplace

Every skill in the marketplace was created and tested by real heretics.

Mission proof

Post a showcase on the wall telling which skill you installed and what it did differently. That earns 75 XP.
