What is a Claude Code Skill?

A Claude Code Skill is a specialized capability that provides Claude with domain-specific guidance, implementation patterns, and scripts to perform complex development tasks effectively.

Why are naming conventions important for skills?

Consistent naming (lowercase with hyphens) ensures that skills are easily discoverable by the AI agent and manageable within the local filesystem.

What is the recommended token budget for a skill?

For optimal performance, the main SKILL.md should be under 500 lines. Detailed documentation and large examples should be moved to the references/ directory.

How do I trigger a skill creation workflow?

You can trigger this skill by asking Claude to 'create a new skill', 'write a SKILL.md file', or 'provide skill creation guidelines'.
