FAQPage Schema
How do I create a Claude skill with a proper SKILL.md structure?

To create a Claude skill, you define a canonical SKILL.md file with frontmatter containing name and description, then scaffold optional resources like scripts, references, and assets directories. This establishes a reusable structure for domain-specific capabilities and tool integrations.

What is the three-stage loading pattern for Claude skills?

The three-stage loading pattern is a prescribed context loading mechanism for Claude skills that ensures efficient initialization. It guides how the SKILL.md body and bundled resources are triggered and loaded into context during skill execution.

Can I bundle scripts and references when packaging Claude skills?

Yes, you can bundle scripts, references, and assets when packaging Claude skills. The skill creation workflow outlines these optional directories to help organize tooling and documentation alongside the core SKILL.md file.

What's the best way to scaffold a new skill for team automation workflows?

The best way to scaffold a new skill for team automation workflows is to run the initialization script, which generates the SKILL.md and example resources. This enforces structured frontmatter and promotes best practices for skill design.

Do I need frontmatter in my SKILL.md file for Claude to recognize it?

Yes, frontmatter with name and description is enforced in the SKILL.md file. This ensures Claude recognizes the skill and loads the concise body content on trigger, enabling efficient context loading.

When should I update an existing Claude skill instead of creating a new one?

You should update an existing Claude skill when modifying domain-specific capabilities or tool integrations, rather than creating a new one. The skill creation workflow applies to both creating and updating skills through the canonical SKILL.md structure.
