What is a Claude Code skill?

A skill is a specialized capability defined in a SKILL.md file that extends Claude's behavior, providing domain-specific guidance, custom slash commands, and automated implementation patterns.

Where should I store my custom skills?

Store skills in .claude/skills/ for project-specific use, or in ~/.claude/skills/ to make them available across all your local projects.

How do I trigger a custom skill in Claude Code?

Skills are triggered either automatically by Claude when the user's request matches the skill's description, or manually by the user using a dedicated /slash-command.

How do I prevent Claude from running a specific skill automatically?

By adding 'disable-model-invocation: true' to the skill's YAML frontmatter, you ensure the skill can only be triggered manually via its slash command.

Can I pass arguments to my Claude skills?

Yes, you can use string substitutions like $ARGUMENTS or $N to pass dynamic data from the command line directly into your skill's instructions.
