New Claude Features, Prompts and Skills In November 2026
Give Claude a job it can do again next Tuesday.
In short Claude Meetings began rolling out in beta for Team and Enterprise on 12 November. Enterprise teams also gained beta cost-code tagging on 6 November. The everyday opportunity is a good Claude Skill: take a method that already works, write it down and give Claude an example it can follow.
What’s new in Claude this November?
12 November · Claude Meetings beta
Claude can join Google Meet as a visible participant, take notes and create material during the call. Anthropic lists Team and Enterprise for this rollout. Start with an internal meeting where everyone knows Claude is joining.
6 November · Project cost codes
Eligible Enterprise organisations can tag projects with existing cost codes in beta. Handy if you want to see how much Claude work is going against a client matter or department.
Rolling into November · One Plugins page
Anthropic began bringing Skills, connectors and plugins together on 29 October for Free, Pro, Max, Ultra and Team. The Enterprise change is scheduled for 30 November. If your sidebar still says Customize, check there.
Five Claude prompts to copy
Turn a Google Meet into an action register
Use in Claude Meetings where available, or paste approved notes into Claude.
From this meeting, list confirmed decisions and actions in separate tables. For each action give the owner, due date and the words that establish the commitment. Mark missing owners or dates as unassigned. Put suggestions in an open questions list.
Turn your best weekly update into a Skill
Use a redacted example and test on a different set of notes.
Extract the method behind [approved example]. Draft a SKILL.md for turning rough weekly notes into a 200-word client update. Include when to use it, required inputs, heading order, rules for missing facts and a final check. Give me three test cases, including one where the notes contain no progress.
Find the differences between two document versions
Add both files to the chat with clear names.
Compare [old draft] and [new draft] clause by clause. Return only changes that affect a deadline, responsibility, deliverable or approval. Give the heading, both versions of the wording and the practical effect. Mark any section you could not read.
Stop the wrong file winning
Use when a Claude Project contains old and current documents.
Use [approved brief and date] as the authority for scope. Treat [working notes] as context. Flag conflicts in a table before drafting. For every figure or commitment in the final draft, cite the file and section where you found it.
Edit a proposal without sanding off your voice
Supply a proposal draft and one approved writing sample.
Edit [draft] for a busy operations director using [sample] for rhythm and tone. Preserve all factual claims and commitments. Replace vague benefits with concrete outcomes supported by the draft. Give me the edited version and list any claim that needs evidence.
Build one Claude Skill your team will actually use
- Pick a job with a recognisable finish, such as the Friday client update.
- Keep client references in the relevant Project. Put the repeatable procedure in the Skill.
- Run the Skill on a normal example, a messy one and an incomplete one. Check factual accuracy and how it handles the gaps.
- Ask a colleague to run it with a fresh input. Revise the steps they had to explain twice.
Worth knowing. A Skill is the procedure. A Project holds the materials for a piece of work. A connector brings in data from another tool. Give each one a specific job and you can fix the part that goes wrong.
Frequently asked questions

What is a Claude Skill?
A Claude Skill is a reusable set of instructions for a recurring task. Custom Skills can include a SKILL.md with instructions and supporting materials. Use a tested example and define when the Skill should apply.
Can Claude take notes in Google Meet?
Yes, where the Claude Meetings beta is available on Team or Enterprise. Claude joins visibly and can take notes or produce artefacts during the call.
Where do I find Claude Skills?
Look in Plugins and use the Skills filter on the new interface. If your account is still on the earlier interface, look under Customize.
What’s the difference between a Claude Project and a Skill?
A Project holds the context and documents for ongoing work. A Skill tells Claude how to carry out a repeatable procedure. You can use the two together.
