creating-skills

To create a Claude Code skill, you scaffold a SKILL.md file with valid YAML frontmatter, organize supporting content, and place it in a personal, project, or plugin skill directory. This framework automates that scaffolding and enforces naming conventions.

Yes, you can convert existing sub-agent configurations into fully compliant skills. This process generates the required triggers, keywords, and SKILL.md frontmatter while organizing supporting files to match standard skill structures.

The best way to validate skill frontmatter and conventions is using Node.js-based tooling scripts. These validation scripts check YAML frontmatter quality, enforce file-naming rules, and verify structural compliance across personal, project, and plugin skill locations.

Yes, the framework supports hook integration and template management. You can leverage built-in templates and set up hooks to design repeatable skill workflows, ensuring automated execution across different skill locations within your development environment.

Node.js-based tooling is enforced over Python to maintain consistency within the Claude Code ecosystem. This approach standardizes validation scripts, ensures cross-platform compatibility, and aligns with the JavaScript-based architecture of the skill framework.

Progressive disclosure involves organizing supporting content in separate files referenced by the main SKILL.md. This framework guides you in structuring templates and documentation hierarchically, keeping the primary skill file concise while linking to detailed supporting content.
