Wheelhouse MCP - Adding and Building Skills

Part 2 of our skills series: John deRoulet, Head of RM Education at Wheelhouse, walks through exactly how to build, upload, and manage skills in Claude for use with the Wheelhouse MCP and API. You'll learn how skills are structured as .skill files (folders, not just markdown), why keeping your Wheelhouse skills inside a single Claude project builds up valuable memory and context over time, and the two main approaches to creating one — organically through conversation or by designing a skill from scratch.

John also covers testing your skill with a dry run, iterating on the logic and output, saving it to your instance, and sharing .skill files with your team so everyone stays in sync. Whether you're automating pricing checks or turning your best ad hoc analysis into a repeatable tool, this is your practical guide to getting skills working with the Wheelhouse Revenue Managers API (RM API).
