Where are Claude Code skills stored?

Personal skills are typically stored in the ~/.claude/skills directory for Claude Code or ~/.codex/skills for Codex.

What is Claude Search Optimization (CSO)?

CSO is the practice of using rich keywords, active-voice naming, and specific triggering conditions in a skill's metadata to ensure Claude can find and load the correct skill for a task.

How do you test a Claude Code skill?

Using the TDD approach: create a pressure scenario where a subagent fails without the skill (Red), write the skill, and then verify that the agent complies with the new instructions (Green).

Why is the description field critical for skills?

Claude uses the description field to decide which skills to load. It must focus on 'When to use' triggers rather than 'What it does' to prevent Claude from taking inaccurate shortcuts.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

A Claude Code Skill is a specialized capability or reference guide that provides domain-specific guidance, best practices, and implementation patterns to improve Claude's behavior.

Aprendizaje y Documentación

Creates and optimizes specialized Claude Code skills using a Test-Driven Development approach for process documentation.

Acerca de

This skill provides a rigorous framework for authoring Claude Code skills by applying Test-Driven Development (TDD) principles to documentation. It guides users through a 'Red-Green-Refactor' cycle—defining pressure scenarios to observe baseline failures, drafting minimal instructions, and verifying agent compliance—to ensure every skill effectively influences AI behavior. It emphasizes Claude Search Optimization (CSO) and token efficiency to ensure skills are discoverable and lightweight for context management.
