To create an Agent Skill, you structure a SKILL.md file with required frontmatter like name and description, then organize supporting scripts and reference files. This process ensures your skill adheres to discovery requirements and functions correctly within Claude Code.
A SKILL.md file is the core component for agent development in Claude Code, defining the skill's identity through frontmatter and guiding its behavior. It is needed to ensure your custom skill can be properly discovered, validated, and executed by the agent.
You validate and test Agent Skills by using provided checklists and debugging tips to verify the SKILL.md structure and functionality. This ensures the skill meets discovery requirements and executes the intended processing logic without errors.
The best way to organize supporting files is to place them logically alongside your SKILL.md file, ensuring the overall skill organization aligns with best practices. This structure helps the agent correctly locate and utilize references during execution.
Prior prompt engineering experience is helpful but not strictly required, as the skill provides step-by-step instructions for writing and structuring Agent Skills. It guides you through defining frontmatter and content to ensure proper skill creation.
Your custom Agent Skill might not be discovered if the SKILL.md file lacks the required frontmatter, such as a valid name and description, or fails validation checks. Reviewing the skill's structure against discovery requirements can resolve this issue.
