FAQPage Schema

How do I fix Claude Code skills not auto-activating when I need them?▼

To improve a Claude Code skill, use the `/brewcode:skills up <skill-name>` command. It optimizes existing skills by applying best practices for descriptions, keywords, and imperative voice to increase their recognition rate.

How do I create a new Claude Code skill from a prompt?▼

You can create a new Claude Code skill by running `/brewcode:skills create "your skill description"`. This command facilitates research and generates a new skill based on your specified prompt or requirements.

Do I need jq to manage Claude Code skills with this tool?▼

Yes, you need jq installed to use the forced-eval hook for skill activation. The hook installation process requires jq to parse and execute the necessary JSON configurations for global, project, and plugin skills.

Can I manage plugin skills or only global and project skills?▼

You can manage global, project, and plugin skills. Plugin discovery requires setting the BC_PLUGIN_ROOT environment variable, allowing the skill management commands to list, improve, and create plugin-level skills.

Why does my custom Claude Code skill have a low activation rate?▼

Low activation rates usually happen when a skill's description, keywords, or phrasing lack imperative voice and clear triggers. Use the skill improvement agent to optimize these metadata fields and align with activation best practices.
