FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a Claude Skill with YAML metadata and bundled resources?

Claude Skills require a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter containing name and description, organized with three loading levels. Bundle supporting materials in scripts/, references/, and assets/ directories. This structure ensures your Skill is discoverable, maintainable, and token-efficient.

What are best practices for designing effective Claude Skills?

Apply Progressive Disclosure to load information only when needed, keeping token usage lean. Structure your metadata strategically, craft clear use cases, and organize bundled resources logically. These practices ensure your Skill leverages Claude's capabilities fully while remaining efficient.

Can I include templates and schemas in my Claude Skill?

Yes. Store domain-specific templates in assets/ and data schemas in references/ folders within your Skill package. This approach lets you provide concrete examples and structured data formats that Claude can reference during execution.

What's the difference between scripts, references, and assets in a Skill?

Scripts contain executable logic or automation code, references hold data schemas and documentation, and assets store templates and resource files. Together they form a three-level framework enabling Claude to access the exact supporting material needed at each stage.

How do I ensure my Claude Skill is discoverable through search?

Write clear metadata with relevant keywords, a concise tagline, and a description that explains the problem it solves. Use domain vocabulary in your SKILL.md so your Skill surfaces when users search for the specific task or workflow it enables.
