Any files in the skeleton directory will automatically be uploaded to each new cPanel you create. The files will not appear in cPanel's which were already created.

Skeleton Directory
In WHM, this page tells you the location of the folder where you can place files for your clients.

You can also put symbolic links in the skeleton directory. NOTE that the files and folders AND symbolic links will all have both user and group set to the new username of the account created - however from my testing the owner and group won't bleed through the symbolic links (ln -s command) and change the actual file/folder permissions, which is good
