FAQPage Schema
How do I create a standardized Skill for Claude?

Create a standardized Skill by generating a SKILL.md file with structured frontmatter (name, description, license, metadata), organizing resources into scripts and references, and packaging everything into a distributable .skill file. The Skill Creator guides you through frontmatter conventions, naming rules in hyphen-case, and resource scaffolding for task-based, workflow-based, or reference-style structures.

What should a Skill's frontmatter include?

Skill frontmatter must include name, description, license, and metadata fields conforming to YAML format. The schema enforces hyphen-case naming conventions, size limits, and structured separation between frontmatter and body content. This standardized approach ensures Skills are properly formatted, discoverable, and compatible with Claude's distribution system.

Can I convert an existing resource into a Skill?

Yes, the Skill Creator supports both new-skill creation and updates to existing skills. You can apply the standardized frontmatter, body structure, and resource organization to existing documentation or guides, then bundle them with assets into a .skill file. This works for task-based, workflow-based, and reference-style structures.

What file formats and resources can I bundle in a Skill?

A Skill bundles scripts, references, and assets organized alongside SKILL.md. Resources are structured for progressive loading, with frontmatter defining metadata and the body containing guidance. The system handles YAML-formatted configuration and supports bundling multiple resource types into a single distributable .skill package.

What naming conventions do Skills enforce?

Skills enforce hyphen-case naming for the Skill identifier, enforced through the frontmatter schema. This ensures consistent, URL-safe naming across the Skill ecosystem. Size limits apply to frontmatter and body sections to maintain efficient distribution and loading.
