SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Automates management of Claude Code extensibility by building, testing, sharing skills, updating Claude.md, and engineering context.

Core Features & Use Cases

Skill lifecycle: create, edit, test, and share Claude Code skills (Skill.md) across personal, project, and plugin scopes.
Documentation discipline: maintain Claude.md frontmatter-driven discovery and hierarchical context with minimal drift.
Context engineering: organize and constrain context to ensure deterministic behavior and efficient reasoning.
Quick iteration: hot-reload skills when Skill.md or references change, enabling rapid validation.

Quick Start

Edit the claude/.claude/skills/claude-code/Skill.md to adjust the skill's frontmatter and guide. Trigger Claude Code to reload the skill and verify that discovery and execution reflect the changes.

FAQPage Schema

How do I create and test custom Claude Code skills?▼

To create custom Claude Code skills, you write a Skill.md file with required name and description frontmatter, add optional scripts or references, and trigger hot-reload to validate changes. Skills operate across personal, project, and plugin scopes.

What is context engineering for Claude Code agents?▼

Context engineering for Claude Code agents involves organizing and constraining context to ensure deterministic behavior and efficient reasoning. It includes maintaining hierarchical context in Claude.md with minimal drift to guide agent execution.

How do I maintain Claude.md documentation for skill discovery?▼

You maintain Claude.md documentation by using frontmatter-driven discovery to manage hierarchical context with minimal drift. This ensures skills remain discoverable and properly scoped within the Claude Code ecosystem.

Does Claude Code support hot-reload when editing Skill.md files?▼

Yes, Claude Code supports hot-reload when Skill.md or reference files change, enabling rapid validation. Simply edit the file and trigger Claude Code to reload, then verify that discovery and execution reflect the updates.

What's the best way to organize Claude Code hooks and agents across project scopes?▼

The best way to organize Claude Code hooks and agents is managing them across personal, project, and plugin scopes. This scoped approach constrains context appropriately for each environment, ensuring deterministic behavior.

When do I need to update frontmatter in a Claude Code Skill.md file?▼

You need to update Skill.md frontmatter when adjusting a skill's name or description for discovery, or when modifying its execution guide. This ensures the Claude Code ecosystem correctly identifies and executes the skill after hot-reload.
