To create Claude Code slash commands, author a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter and markdown body content. Custom slash commands are integrated directly into skills, allowing you to define invocation triggers and structured content for automated workflows.

Progressive disclosure in Claude skill authoring structures SKILL.md content to reveal complexity gradually. It guides the agent by dynamically injecting context only when needed, optimizing skill discovery and invocation control during workflow automation.

Structure a SKILL.md file for code reviews by defining the skill name and description in YAML frontmatter, then author markdown body content with instructions. Add supporting files like scripts or references to enable the automated workflow.

Claude skill development does not require external dependencies. You build skills by structuring SKILL.md files with YAML frontmatter and markdown body content, integrating workflows and references directly within the Claude Code environment.

The best way to control skill discovery and invocation is through structured YAML frontmatter in SKILL.md files. Defining clear descriptions and using progressive disclosure ensures Claude triggers the correct workflow automation contextually.
