302 AI Studio provides an intuitive visual interface for managing your Skills — no command-line required. All management operations can be completed with a few clicks.

Skills Store
The client has a built-in Skills Store featuring 60,000+ quality Skills. Click the "Browse 302 Skills Hub" link at the top of the Skills panel to access it.

Enable and Disable
Each Skill card has an "Enable" toggle that controls whether Claude Code can access the Skill.
| State | Description |
|---|---|
| Enabled | Claude Code can see and invoke the Skill, intelligently deciding when to use it based on conversation context |
| Disabled | Claude Code has no access to the Skill at all |
Default Behavior
All built-in Skills are enabled by default. When enabled, Claude Code can perceive these Skills and automatically invoke them when appropriate, but is not forced to use them.
Smart Triggering Mechanism
Enabled Skills trigger automatically based on the description field in their metadata. When your conversation content matches trigger phrases, Claude automatically loads the relevant Skill and applies its specialized knowledge.
Example:
When you ask Claude to "build a beautiful landing page," the frontend Skill automatically activates, providing guidance on:
- Typography choices that avoid generic fonts
- Bold color palettes with sharp accents
- Sophisticated animations and micro-interactions
- Unique layouts that break from cookie-cutter patterns
Batch Operations
The Skills panel supports batch management of multiple Skills:
- Select All/Deselect All - Click the checkbox in the top-left corner of cards to quickly select or deselect all Skills
- Batch Disable - After selecting multiple Skills, click the "Batch Disable" button to disable all selected Skills at once
- Batch Force Use - After selecting multiple Skills, click the "Batch Force Use" button to make Claude prioritize these Skills
Tip
Batch operations allow you to quickly manage large numbers of Skills, especially useful when switching between different work scenarios to rapidly adjust Skills configuration.
Force Use
In addition to enable/disable, each Skill has a "Force Use" toggle that lets you explicitly request Claude to prioritize a specific Skill.
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Normal Enable | Claude Code can invoke the Skill, decides based on context |
| Force Use | Claude Code is explicitly instructed to use this Skill whenever possible |
When Force Use is Enabled
When you enable "Force Use" for a Skill:
- Chat Display - The Skill appears below the chat input box as a reminder that it's currently being forced
- Priority Application - Claude Code is explicitly instructed to prioritize that Skill's knowledge and workflows
- Session-wide - Remains active throughout the entire conversation session
Use Cases
Force Use is particularly useful in these scenarios:
| Scenario | Recommended Skill to Force |
|---|---|
| Strict brand compliance required | brand-guidelines |
| Generating internal documentation | internal-docs |
| Creating presentations | pptx |
| Processing PDF files | pdf |
| Developing frontend interfaces | frontend |
Note
Force Use affects Claude's decision-making. Only enable it when truly needed. For most scenarios, let Claude decide intelligently.
