To create a Claude Code skill, generate a SKILL.md file with required YAML frontmatter fields like name and description. This standardizes skill creation by validating frontmatter constraints and organizing the body content for discovery and loading.

Progressive disclosure in skill packaging outlines core content directly in SKILL.md while linking to deeper references. Use this pattern when designing complex skills to ensure easy discovery and progressive loading of bundled resources.

Scaffold scripts and asset directories by creating optional resource folders alongside your SKILL.md. This enables repeatable skill packaging by organizing bundled resources like scripts, references, and assets for distribution.

XML templates are not strictly required but can structure skill content. The essential requirement is valid YAML frontmatter and a clear SKILL.md body to satisfy discovery, loading, and packaging constraints.

The best way to validate YAML frontmatter is ensuring the presence of required name and description fields while adhering to specific constraints. This guarantees the skill meets discovery and loading requirements.

Skills fail to load during discovery when required YAML frontmatter fields like name and description are missing or invalid. Ensure your SKILL.md adheres to frontmatter constraints to satisfy packaging requirements.
