SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires git, gh-cli, python, bash, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill template eliminates the overhead of starting a new Claude Code skill from scratch. It provides a structured, best-practice-aligned foundation, ensuring compliance with Claude's skill requirements and streamlining the development process so you can focus on your skill's unique logic.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured Foundation: Get a complete, pre-configured directory structure (scripts/, references/, assets/, docs/) aligned with Anthropic's best practices for Claude skills.
  • Automated Releases: Includes GitHub Actions workflows for automated validation, packaging, and release of your custom skill, simplifying deployment.
  • Built-in Validation: Bundles scripts for local validation of skill names and structure, preventing common deployment failures before they happen.
  • Comprehensive Documentation: Offers templates for README.md, SETUP.md, CLAUDE.md, and detailed testing/release guides to ensure your skill is well-documented and maintainable.
  • Use Case: A developer wants to create a new Claude skill to interact with a specific internal API. Instead of manually setting up the project, documentation, and CI/CD, they use this template to instantly get a ready-to-customize project with built-in automation for deployment.

Quick Start

Use this template to create a new GitHub repository for your skill. Update the SKILL.md file with your skill's unique name and a specific description. Add your custom logic to the scripts/ directory and any reference documentation to references/. Test your skill locally by copying it to your Claude Code skills directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a new Claude skill with proper structure and naming conventions?

Use this template to set up a Claude skill with a standardized directory structure (scripts/, references/, assets/, docs/) and validated naming that follows Claude's requirements: lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens, starting and ending with alphanumeric characters. The template ensures compliance before you customize the skill's core logic.

What's the best way to automate skill validation and deployment with GitHub Actions?

This template includes pre-configured GitHub Actions workflows that automatically validate skill names, check markdown size limits, package your skill, and manage releases. Run local validation scripts first to catch issues before pushing to GitHub.

Can I use this template with git and GitHub CLI to manage my skill releases?

Yes. The template integrates with git and gh-cli for version control and automated release workflows. It handles packaging and deployment steps through GitHub Actions, reducing manual work in the release pipeline.

What documentation should I include when building a Claude skill?

This template provides structure and templates for README.md, SETUP.md, and CLAUDE.md files. Complete these with your skill's unique description, setup instructions, and implementation details to ensure users can understand and deploy your skill.

How do I validate my skill locally before publishing?

The template bundles validation scripts you run locally to check skill naming, directory structure, and markdown compliance. Test your skill by copying it to your Claude Code skills directory before pushing to GitHub for automated release.

Do I need to write deployment scripts myself for a custom Claude skill?

No. This template includes built-in GitHub Actions workflows that handle validation, packaging, and release automation. You focus on your skill's logic while the template manages the deployment pipeline.
