Create a Claude Skill by defining YAML frontmatter with metadata and writing procedural SKILL.md content. Use one of four patterns—Workflow-Based, Task-Based, Reference/Guidelines, or Capabilities-Based—to structure your skill's domain-specific knowledge, workflows, and tool integrations for deterministic automation.

Bundle optional scripts, references, and assets alongside your skill zip to enable context efficiency and deterministic automation. Organize components into a structured format that supports progressive disclosure and allows Claude to access resources during skill execution.

Yes. Skill templates provide predefined YAML skeletons and example SKILL.md frontmatter that serve as starter kits. Use these templates to initialize a new skill skeleton and accelerate skill creation across any domain.

Create a new Skill to introduce domain-specific capabilities, workflows, or tool integrations not covered by existing skills. Update an existing Skill to refine its metadata, expand its procedural content, or add new component bundles that extend its functionality.

Define metadata in YAML frontmatter including the skill name, tagline, category, keywords, author, dependencies, and components. This structured metadata enables discovery and tells Claude how to invoke and contextualize your skill during execution.

No. Skills require structured YAML metadata and clear procedural documentation in SKILL.md, but not code. You can create effective skills using templates, domain knowledge, and organized references—programming is optional depending on your skill's complexity and integrations.
