What problem does it solve?
This guide provides a structured approach to creating and enhancing Claude Code plugin skills, ensuring consistent frontmatter, lean SKILL.md bodies, and clear resource organization.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Defines a canonical skill layout: a SKILL.md frontmatter with name, description, and version plus a concise body that can load when triggered.
- Encourages progressive disclosure by moving detailed patterns, migration notes, and API references into
references/while keeping SKILL.md lean. - Specifies the optional but recommended resources:
scripts/,references/, andassets/to support deterministic tasks, documentation, and output files.
Quick Start
Create a new skill directory, add SKILL.md with proper frontmatter, and populate optional references/scripts/assets as needed.
