Structured body guidance: Defines how to place practical instructions, templates, and references in SKILL.md so Claude can load and execute them reliably.
Governance & reuse: Describes how to organize optional resources (scripts, references, assets) for on-demand use, keeping skills modular and maintainable.
Use Case: A developer writing a new skill for a data-analysis project can follow these guidelines to ensure consistency and safety across the skill library.
