SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Skill Builder removes friction from creating discoverable, well-structured Claude skills by providing clear YAML frontmatter rules, progressive disclosure guidelines, templates, and validation checklists so authors avoid inconsistent SKILL.md files and broken skill layouts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Frontmatter specification: Exact requirements for name and description fields and YAML formatting rules to ensure skills are discoverable.
  • Progressive disclosure architecture: Guidance for Level 1 metadata, Level 2 SKILL.md body, and Level 3+ referenced resources to keep runtime context minimal.
  • Templates and validation: Minimal, intermediate, and advanced SKILL.md templates plus a checklist to verify YAML, file structure, and content quality.
  • Team and personal workflows: Use for creating project-shared skills under .claude/skills or personal skills under ~/.claude/skills, and for onboarding contributors to a common skill standard.

Quick Start

Create a new skill directory named my-first-skill and add a SKILL.md with a name and description frontmatter, a concise overview, and a quick start sentence.
