What problem does it solve?

This Skill guides creators through building high-quality Claude Code skills, including frontmatter, structure, triggers, and supporting files. Use when you want to craft focused, auto-discovered skills that integrate smoothly with Claude's auto-discovery system.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Focused, single-capability skill design with clear trigger keywords.
  • Progressive disclosure: essential details in SKILL.md, deeper docs in references.
  • Guidance on testing, distribution, and team sharing.

Quick Start

Create a new skill under .claude/skills/skill-name/, add SKILL.md with proper frontmatter, and include optional reference.md, examples.md, scripts/ and templates/. Restart Claude Code to load the skill, then test prompts that match the description to trigger auto-discovery.
