FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a Claude Code skill using progressive disclosure?▼

To structure a Claude Code skill with progressive disclosure, keep the core content lean inside SKILL.md and move detailed guidance into bundled references within the references/ directory.

What frontmatter is required for a Claude Code plugin skill?▼

Required frontmatter for a Claude Code plugin skill includes the name, description, and version fields to establish a consistent contract and ensure proper categorization and trigger validation.

How do I validate and package a Claude Code skill before deployment?▼

You validate and package a Claude Code skill by running validation workflows that verify the SKILL.md structure, check trigger configurations, and confirm that all bundled resource references are correctly organized.

When should I use bundled resource directories for skill development?▼

Use bundled resource directories like scripts/, references/, and assets/ during skill development to organize reusable patterns and keep the main SKILL.md file lean while supporting rich, detailed content.

Does skill development require specific dependencies to build robust Claude Code skills?▼

Building robust Claude Code skills using this framework requires no external dependencies, as it provides a standalone structure for defining frontmatter, organizing resources, and validating workflows.

What is the best way to document dependencies and safety considerations in a SKILL.md file?▼

The best way to document dependencies and safety considerations is to follow the specified frontmatter standards, explicitly listing required components and safety notes within the SKILL.md structure.
