How does the description field affect skill performance?

The description is critical for discovery; a precise description containing key trigger words ensures Claude invokes the skill at the appropriate time during a conversation.

How do I test if my new skill is working correctly?

Start a new conversation in Claude Code and make a request that matches the skill's description. Verify that Claude adopts the specified behavior and follow the iterative improvement process if results are inconsistent.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

A Claude Code Skill is a specialized capability that enhances Claude's behavior by providing domain-specific guidance, implementation patterns, and best practices for specific tasks.

When should I create a local skill versus a shared skill?

Create a local skill for project-specific workflows or private codebases. Use shared skills for general utilities that benefit multiple projects by contributing to the core plugin repository.

What is the recommended file structure for a complex skill?

Keep the main SKILL.md under 500 lines for core instructions and use a modular layout with a reference folder for detailed documentation and a scripts folder for executable utilities.
