To create a Claude Skill from a template, run the initialization script to generate a scaffold with a structured SKILL.md, then customize optional directories like scripts and references before packaging. This enforces naming conventions for consistent structure.

Claude Skills are packaged for distribution by running the packaging script on your skill directory, which produces a distributable .skill file. You can verify the multi-file structure beforehand using the quick validation script.

A packaged Claude Skill structure includes a SKILL.md file with frontmatter, alongside optional resource directories for scripts, references, and assets. This multi-file structure is validated before being bundled into a final .skill file.

You need Python and the pyyaml dependency to run the initialization, validation, and packaging scripts that generate your .skill files. These scripts automate the scaffolding and enforce the required naming conventions.

To validate a Claude Skill before distribution, run the quick validation script against your skill directory. This checks the multi-file structure and ensures the SKILL.md and resource bundles meet the required conventions before packaging.

The best way to scaffold a multi-file Claude Skill is using the initializer script, which automatically creates optional directories like scripts, references, and assets with example files. This reduces setup friction and ensures a standardized structure.
