Skill Development

To structure plugin skills, keep the SKILL.md body lean with imperative guidance and store detailed resources in optional references, scripts, and assets folders. This progressive-disclosure design ensures maintainable plugin documentation.

SKILL.md frontmatter should include required metadata fields defined by a standardized template with imperative guidance. This ensures proper plugin skill packaging, validation, and discovery within the Claude Code ecosystem.

Create a new skill scaffold in your plugin's skills/ directory, then populate the SKILL.md file and optional references, scripts, and assets folders. This scaffolding process establishes a scalable structure for reusable plugin resources.

Use references folders for detailed documentation, scripts for executable logic, and assets for static files. This scalable structure supports progressive disclosure by externalizing resources from the lean SKILL.md body.

Organize reusable resources using a scalable folder structure with optional references, scripts, and assets directories. Combined with a standardized SKILL.md template, this approach ensures maintainability and progressive disclosure across multiple plugin skills.

No external dependencies are required for Claude Code plugin skill development. The process focuses on writing SKILL.md frontmatter, structuring references folders, and ensuring progressive-disclosure design using standardized templates and best-practice guidance.
