You create custom skills by providing the skill name, scope, trigger phrases, and desired outputs to generate a valid SKILL.md skeleton. This enforces strict frontmatter and Markdown body structure for consistent activation.

Global and project scopes determine where your custom skills apply. Global scope activates across all contexts, while project scope restricts the skill to a specific project, requiring clear trigger patterns to avoid conflicts.

Writing effective trigger phrases requires structured guidance to match expected inputs. You define specific patterns during skill creation so the workflow evaluates scope and executes the task only when intended.

Common pitfalls when optimizing custom skills include poorly defined triggers and incorrect markdown formatting. Following best practices for scope selection and strict structure enforcement prevents inconsistent execution.
