FAQPage Schema
How do I create a new Claude Code skill from scratch?

To create a Claude Code skill, provide a kebab-case name, description, purpose, and trigger phrases. This generates a ready-to-use scaffold with a standard SKILL.md entry point and supporting folder structure.

What is the required folder structure for a Claude Code skill?

A Claude Code skill requires a SKILL.md entry file and a knowledge folder. The scaffold enforces this structure along with concise single-line metadata to ensure the repository's template rules are met.

Can I use any naming convention when setting up a new developer slash-command?

No, setting up a new developer slash-command requires kebab-case naming. The template enforcement mechanism checks for this specific format to maintain consistency across reusable developer assistants.

What's the best way to automate skill scaffolding for repeatable workflows?

Automating skill scaffolding is best done by turning a short request into a template-driven creation workflow. This removes the friction of manual setup by automatically generating the required SKILL.md and folder structure.

Do I need to manually write frontmatter metadata for my skill template?

No, you do not need to manually write frontmatter metadata. The scaffold generation process automatically produces a concise SKILL.md file with the required single-line metadata and template rules included.

When should I use a generated skill scaffold instead of building manually?

You should use a generated skill scaffold when you need a new slash-command skill for a repeatable workflow, idea, or internal helper. It enforces template rules automatically, avoiding the friction and errors of manual setup.
