How do I create a Claude skill package with proper frontmatter and bundled resources?

Validating Claude skill structure requires checking for required frontmatter, verifying correct name formatting, and confirming activation wording. This validation process ensures your skill package meets the structural standards needed for reliable workflow integration.

You add scripts and references to a skill package when handling repeatable or specialized tasks that require structured resources. This progressive disclosure approach keeps the SKILL.md entry point concise while bundling necessary functional components on-demand.

What's the best way to structure SKILL.md for clear triggers and concise instructions?
