FAQPage Schema
How do I create a production-ready Claude Skill with proper project structure?

To create a Claude Skill, set up a clean top-level directory under ~/.claude/skills/ and add a SKILL.md file with mandatory YAML frontmatter containing name and description fields to enable discovery and activation.

What is progressive disclosure in Claude skill documentation?

Progressive disclosure organizes skill content into Level 1-4 tiers, allowing users to access basic instructions first and optional resources like scripts, references, and assets for deeper execution and detailed documentation.

Do I need YAML frontmatter for SKILL.md to be discoverable?

Yes, YAML frontmatter is mandatory. SKILL.md at the root must contain both a name and description in the frontmatter to ensure the Claude skill unit is properly discovered and activated by the system.

What's the best way to standardize skill templates for team-wide use?

Standardize skill templates by enforcing a consistent directory structure with SKILL.md, utilizing multi-level content layouts from Level 1-4, and providing optional resource folders for scripts, references, and assets across all team projects.

Can I include scripts and references inside a Claude skill directory?

Yes, the skill structure supports optional resources. You can include scripts, references, and assets within the skill directory to support deep documentation and execution alongside the progressive disclosure content levels.

Why does my Claude skill fail to activate during project automation?

Activation fails when SKILL.md is missing from the root directory or lacks the required YAML frontmatter. Ensure the name and description fields are present in the frontmatter to enable proper skill discovery.
