FAQPage Schema
How do I create a Claude Code skill that follows Anthropic's best practices?

To create a Claude Code skill, you provide a description of the desired functionality, and the system generates a ready-to-implement scaffold including SKILL.md content, metadata, and file structure aligned with Anthropic's best practices.

What is the standard metadata required for a Claude Code skill?

Standard metadata for a Claude Code skill includes the skill name, description, tools, and compatibility details. Generating this metadata ensures consistent structure and adherence to best practices across projects.

How can I audit an existing Claude Code skill against best practices?

You can audit an existing Claude Code skill by using a review framework that checks its metadata, file structure, and SKILL.md content against Anthropic's best practices, providing clear remediation guidance for any issues found.

Can I scaffold complex skill projects with multiple workflow files?

Yes, you can scaffold complex skill projects by planning and generating the necessary file structure, including the main SKILL.md, supporting workflow files, and optional references for advanced implementations.

What should I provide to start generating a Claude Code skill scaffold?

You need to provide a text description of the skill you want to create. The system uses this input to generate the complete metadata, file structure, and SKILL.md content required for implementation.

Why does my custom Claude Code skill fail consistency reviews?

Custom skills often fail consistency reviews due to non-standard metadata, missing file structure components, or poorly structured SKILL.md content that deviates from established best practices.
