To scaffold a new Claude Skill, run the initializer script to generate a ready-to-edit SKILL.md, resource directories, and metadata structure. This provides a standardized template that enforces naming conventions and accelerates modular skill development.

The best way to package a Claude Skill is using the included packaging script, which validates metadata and emits a distributable .skill file. This workflow ensures compliant frontmatter and generates a predictable build for the skill pipeline.

You validate SKILL.md frontmatter by running the built-in validation script provided in the workflow. This checks naming conventions, metadata requirements, and structural compliance to ensure consistent activation and successful integration.

Yes, the skill creation template automatically scaffolds optional resource directories for scripts, references, and assets. This helps organize supplementary files while keeping the core SKILL.md concise through incremental disclosure.

Skill activation fails when SKILL.md frontmatter lacks required metadata or violates naming conventions. The validation script enforces these standards during the packaging workflow to prevent non-compliant .skill files from breaking integration.

Yes, you need Node.js and ts-node to execute the TypeScript scripts for scaffolding and packaging. The workflow relies on these scripts to initialize the skill skeleton and output the final .skill file.
