A Claude Skill is a structured knowledge pack teaching the agent specific domains. Its structure relies on frontmatter for identity and discovery, a SKILL.md body for core instructions, and optional directories like references/ and scripts/ that load on demand.
To create a Claude Skill, make a new folder under skills/, add a SKILL.md file with proper frontmatter defining the name and description, and place any required references, scripts, or assets in their respective optional directories.
Frontmatter defines a skill's identity through its name and description, which are used for agent discovery and activation. The SKILL.md body contains the core instructions loaded into context upon activation.
The best way to organize reusable Claude Skills is to follow consistent naming and structure rules. This ensures a uniform catalog, predictable loading behavior, and reduces confusion across projects when updating existing skills.
No, directories like references/, scripts/, and assets/ are optional and load on demand as directed by SKILL.md. You only need to create them if your skill requires richer behavior combining these external resources.
