To create a Claude Code Skill, you need a SKILL.md file with required frontmatter fields like name and description, plus optional sections for references, examples, and scripts to ensure actionable instructions.

A SKILL.md file requires frontmatter with name and description fields. You can also add optional sections for references, examples, and scripts to provide supporting documentation and organize supporting files.

You can audit existing Agent Skills by checking their SKILL.md files for valid frontmatter, correct naming conventions, and consistent structure across project directories to ensure scalable Skill design.

Organize Skill directories by standardizing the SKILL.md template structure, validating naming conventions, and properly structuring optional supporting files like scripts and examples for scalable design.

You should update a SKILL.md file when modifying an existing Agent Skill's instructions, adding new optional components, or auditing Skill organization to maintain valid frontmatter and consistent documentation.

No dependencies are required to start writing Agent Skills. You only need to follow the standardized SKILL.md template structure with required frontmatter and optional sections for examples or scripts.
