SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill Development guide provides a structured approach for creating and refining Claude skills for Claude Code plugins, ensuring consistent discovery, lean SKILL.md bodies, and effective progressive disclosure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Establish frontmatter requirements (name and description) to drive skill triggering and discovery.
  • Define bundled resources structure (scripts/, references/, assets/) to support modular, reusable guidance.
  • Outline validation, testing, and packaging steps to ensure skills are production-ready and easy to share.

Quick Start

Create a new skill directory under plugin-name/skills/skill-name, add SKILL.md with frontmatter name and description, and populate optional resources as needed.
