FAQPage Schema
How do I create an AI agent skill structure with SKILL.md?▼

To create an AI agent skill, you start by authoring a SKILL.md file that defines the skill's routing logic and intake, then organize supporting files into directories like workflows, references, templates, and scripts for component management.

What's the best way to structure prompt engineering workflows for Claude Code Skills?▼

The best way to structure prompt engineering workflows is to define them in a dedicated workflows directory, ensuring your SKILL.md references them correctly for effective AI agent capabilities and efficient task routing.

How do references directories work in Claude Code Skills?▼

References directories store supporting documentation and context that your AI agent can access during execution, allowing the SKILL.md routing logic to pull in domain-specific knowledge for more accurate prompt engineering results.

Can I use templates and scripts alongside workflows in a single skill?▼

Yes, you can use templates and scripts alongside workflows by placing them in their respective directories, allowing the SKILL.md file to coordinate multiple components for comprehensive AI agent capabilities.

What is skill routing and how does it affect AI agent performance?▼

Skill routing is the mechanism within SKILL.md that directs user intents to the appropriate workflows and references, directly impacting AI agent performance by ensuring accurate intake and efficient component management.

Why does my AI agent skill fail to discover associated references during execution?▼

Your AI agent skill may fail to discover references if the SKILL.md structure does not follow best practices for routing and intake, preventing the system from correctly mapping the associated directories during execution.
