Create a new Claude skill by initializing a structured directory with YAML frontmatter metadata, a SKILL.md body file, and optional bundled resources like scripts. Use automated scaffolding templates to generate the correct structure, then define your skill's workflow, implement required scripts, and validate against the skill packaging requirements before distribution.

Structure a Claude skill with modular components: YAML frontmatter containing name and description, a SKILL.md body organized by workflow, task, or reference type, and bundled resources (scripts, references, assets) kept separate. This modular approach ensures your skill is domain-specific, portable, and ready for team onboarding without tight coupling to specific implementations.

Yes. Use provided automation scripts—init_skill.py to scaffold new skill directories with templates and placeholders, and package_skill.py to validate and package completed skills for distribution. These tools enforce structural requirements and reduce manual setup time, letting you focus on skill logic rather than boilerplate.

The packaging process validates that your skill meets all structural requirements: YAML frontmatter with required name and description fields, a properly formatted SKILL.md body, and correct component organization. Validation ensures your skill is complete and ready for distribution before packaging.

No. This skill provides guided step-by-step design processes, templates, and scaffolding tools that handle structural requirements and best practices. You focus on defining your skill's logic and requirements; the templates and automation handle the technical packaging and validation.

Package a completed skill by running the packaging workflow script, which validates your SKILL.md structure, frontmatter metadata, and bundled resources, then produces a distributable package. Once packaged, your skill is ready for other team members to use without additional setup or configuration.
