A Claude Code User Guide to Lovable Skills

You already use Claude Code skills. Here is everything that changes — and stays the same — when you bring them to Lovable.

A Claude Code User Guide to Lovable Skills

If you ship with Claude Code, switching to (or supplementing with) Lovable is mostly familiar. The skill spec is identical. The runtime is different. Here is the short version.

Same

  • SKILL.md frontmatter (name, description)
  • Folder layout (scripts/, references/)
  • The matching behavior — the description field decides triggering

Different

  • No CLI install. Lovable accepts skills as .zip uploads. Drag and drop, no claude install.
  • Sandboxed runtime. Lovable runs in a Cloudflare Worker. No arbitrary binaries on PATH, no ~/.claude/ config.
  • Project-scoped. Skills install per-project, not globally on your machine.

Bring your existing skills over

  1. Clone your .claude/skills/<name> folder.
  2. Zip it (SKILL.md at the root).
  3. Drop into Lovable chat. Done.

Full walkthrough: install guide. Or use the GitHub search queries to find skills from the wider community.
