Frequently Asked Questions about skill-writer

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a new Claude skill using the Arsenal-first workflow?▼

Create and edit your skill in the arsenal/dot-claude/skills directory, maintaining the prescribed skill structure and SKILL.md documentation. Run install.sh to sync changes to .claude/, ensuring the Arsenal repository remains your single source of truth for all skill definitions.

What is the Arsenal-first workflow and why does it matter for skill development?▼

The Arsenal-first workflow enforces edits in arsenal/dot-claude as the authoritative source, with install.sh propagating changes to .claude/. This prevents drift from direct edits and ensures skill structure, frontmatter, and validation stay consistent across your skill registry.

How do I sync my skill changes from Arsenal to the Claude directory?▼

After editing your skill in arsenal/dot-claude/skills and updating SKILL.md, run install.sh to propagate changes to .claude/. This step validates skill readiness before testing and maintains alignment between your Arsenal source and live skill definitions.

What documentation structure does a Claude skill require?▼

Each skill must include SKILL.md with proper frontmatter and registry updates in the CLAUDE file. Optional PRESSURE_TESTS.md documents edge cases and validation criteria; the Arsenal-first workflow enforces this structure to ensure consistent, testable skill definitions.

Can I edit skills directly in the .claude directory, or must I use Arsenal?▼

The Arsenal-first workflow mandates that edits originate in arsenal/dot-claude as the source of truth. Direct edits to .claude/ cause drift and are overwritten when you run install.sh, so always edit in Arsenal and sync via install.sh to maintain consistency.
