Organize bundled resources—scripts, references, and assets—in dedicated folders alongside the main file for proper distribution.

Start by identifying your use case and target domain. Define the Skill's purpose, design progressive disclosure patterns for context efficiency, draft clear Markdown instructions, structure YAML metadata, and bundle any supporting resources. This Skill provides a complete step-by-step framework to guide you from concept through packaging.
