Create a skill directory under .claude/skills, add a SKILL.md file with required YAML frontmatter (name and description), and follow the template structure outlined in this guide. This ensures consistent, reusable skills across personal, project, and plugin scopes.

What should be included in a Claude Skill's SKILL.md file?

SKILL.md must contain YAML frontmatter with name and description, plus mandatory sections for content, examples, and troubleshooting. Optional tool restrictions can be specified to enforce best practices and maintain consistency across skill deployments.

Skills must follow standardized naming conventions and include clear descriptions in SKILL.md frontmatter. These constraints reduce setup errors and ensure skills remain discoverable and maintainable across teams.

How do I troubleshoot a skill that won't activate?

Verify that SKILL.md exists with required YAML frontmatter, directory structure matches the template, and all mandatory sections are present. This guide covers common activation issues and best practices for consistent skill structure.

Store skills under .claude/skills with each skill in its own directory containing SKILL.md and supporting files. This standardized layout accelerates development, reduces errors, and makes skills reusable across personal, project, and plugin scopes.
