FAQPage Schema
How do I create a Claude Code skill template?▼

To create a Claude Code skill template, you must author a valid SKILL.md file with correct frontmatter fields and write focused descriptions with actionable instructions. This defines the skill's activation patterns and supporting resources.

What is a SKILL.md file and how does it work?▼

A SKILL.md file defines the structure and activation patterns of a Claude Code skill. It contains frontmatter fields and documentation conventions that tell Claude Code when and how to execute the skill's instructions.

What frontmatter fields are required for Claude Code plugin development?▼

Claude Code plugin development requires specific frontmatter fields in the SKILL.md file to define activation conditions and capabilities. Correct frontmatter ensures the skill triggers properly within the Claude Code environment.

How do I write focused skill descriptions that trigger correctly?▼

Writing focused skill descriptions requires clear activation conditions and actionable instructions in the SKILL.md file. This ensures Claude Code recognizes the specific context and applies the skill development patterns accurately.

When do I need optional supporting resources for a Claude Code skill?▼

Optional supporting resources are needed for a Claude Code skill when the core SKILL.md requires additional context or files to execute complex plugin development scenarios. Organize these resources alongside the skill definition.
