SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Creating a new skill from scratch requires knowing the correct SKILL.md structure, frontmatter fields, and formatting conventions, which slows down skill authoring. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Frontmatter Scaffold: Ships a ready-made YAML frontmatter with the mandatory name and description fields. - Instruction Placeholder: Includes a Markdown body section where operational instructions can be inserted. - Use Case: A developer starting a new Claude skill copies this template, replaces the placeholder name and description, and writes the skill instructions without worrying about structural requirements. ## Quick Start Copy this template directory and replace the placeholder name, description, and instructions to define a new skill.

Frequently Asked Questions about template-skill

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a new Claude skill from a template?▼

Copy the template directory, then edit SKILL.md to replace the placeholder name and description in the YAML frontmatter. Finally, write your operational instructions in the Markdown body below the frontmatter.

What fields are required in a SKILL.md frontmatter?▼

A valid SKILL.md frontmatter requires at least a name and a description field. These fields are used for skill discovery, and the Markdown body after the frontmatter holds the instructions loaded on activation.

Can I add scripts or references to a skill template?▼

Yes, a skill may optionally include scripts, references, and assets directories alongside SKILL.md. These resources are used on demand as directed by the instructions in SKILL.md.

Why is my skill not being discovered after using the template?▼

Discovery fails if the SKILL.md file is missing at the directory root or if the frontmatter lacks a name or description. Verify the file name casing and that the YAML frontmatter is properly delimited.
