How to get Qwen 3.8 to properly use skills.md?

Noob here, I'm broke so I only use Qwen 3.8 27B through the Qwen chat website via my potato pc. I tried to copy paste the skill.md in the customization option in my profile, I also tried to attach it as part of the prompt, nothing works.

I understand that there is no free API for the 3.8 model, and I don't want to use those sketchy temporary affiliate links that will overcharge my credit card after the trial.

Is there a way to properly use Claude skills (downloaded as zip folders from github) with Qwen for free? I only have free Claude desktop.
