Claude Skills

Anthropic Skills are Markdown files with YAML frontmatter that Claude loads when a task matches the skill description. Use this kit when you want Claude Code, Claude Desktop with skills, or another Anthropic-compatible client to answer field service operations questions with the correct VH3 MCP tools and parameters.
Skills are triggered context. Unlike AGENTS.md (always-on project context) or Claude.ai Projects (paste-once project instructions), a skill activates when the user’s question matches the description in the frontmatter. Pair with the MCP Server so the tools referenced below are available.

Setup

1

Connect the VH3 MCP server

Follow MCP Server setup so tools like vh3-ai-v2:investigate and vh3-ai-v2:aggregate_jobs are available to the client.
2

Create the skill file

In your skills directory (e.g. .claude/skills/vh3-ops-assistant/SKILL.md for Claude Code), create a file named SKILL.md.
3

Paste the template

Copy the full block below into SKILL.md.
4

Replace credentials

Replace {{YOUR_COMPANY_ID}} and {{YOUR_API_KEY}} with your real values from Authentication. Never commit live credentials to source control.

The skill file

Keep the frontmatter description broad enough to catch casual operational questions, that is what triggers the skill. Do not shorten the tool-selection tables; they prevent invalid parameter names at the API.
SKILL.md

Skills vs other kits

For production deployments, prefer MCP JWT auth from MCP Server setup over embedding API keys in the skill file. If your client supports environment-backed credentials, reference those instead of pasting secrets into SKILL.md.
