FAQPage Schema

How do I generate Claude Code skills from domain research?▼

To generate Claude Code skills from domain research, you describe the domain to encode, and the forge workflow conducts in-depth research to synthesize a production-quality SKILL.md template with mandatory frontmatter and a core workflow under 500 lines.

What is the best way to structure a Claude Code skill template?▼

The best way to structure a Claude Code skill template is using a SKILL.md file with mandatory frontmatter, a concise core workflow under 500 lines, and optional references, scripts, and assets directories for extended domain guidance.

Can I update an existing Claude Code skill workflow?▼

Yes, you can update an existing Claude Code skill workflow by invoking the forge process to perform domain research and re-synthesize the updated knowledge into your existing SKILL.md template structure.

Does skill generation work without external dependencies?▼

Yes, skill generation works without external dependencies, as the forge process operates independently to conduct domain research and scaffold the skill folder structure directly within Claude Code.

When do I need to add references and scripts to a skill template?▼

You need to add references and scripts to a skill template when encoding complex domains that require extended guidance, allowing the generated Claude Code skill to handle advanced tasks beyond the core workflow.
