What are the core components of a skill?

A skill requires a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter for metadata and can optionally include scripts, references, and assets to provide additional functionality.

Why use TDD for skill creation?

Using a Test-Driven Development (TDD) approach for documentation ensures that you only add content that addresses specific AI failures, keeping the context window lean and the instructions effective.

How do I trigger a skill in Claude Code?

Skills are triggered via the description field in the SKILL.md frontmatter. Claude evaluates this description to determine if the skill is relevant to the current user request.

How do I package a skill for use?

Once your skill is drafted and tested, you use a packaging script to validate the structure and compress it into a .skill file for deployment.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

A Claude Code Skill is a specialized capability or set of instructions that enhances Claude's behavior for specific tasks, providing domain-specific guidance, best practices, and tool integrations.

Guides the creation, testing, and deployment of specialized Claude Code skills using a TDD-inspired methodology for documentation.

Acerca de

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for developing effective Claude Code skills through a Test-Driven Development (TDD) approach. By following a Red-Green-Refactor cycle for documentation, it ensures that new capabilities are minimal, functional, and address specific AI failures witnessed during testing. It covers best practices for frontmatter configuration, resource bundling for scripts and assets, and progressive disclosure techniques to maintain a lean context window while extending Claude's specialized knowledge and workflows.
