Where should I store my custom skills?

Personal skills for your individual use should be stored in ~/.claude/skills/, while project-specific skills should be placed in the .claude/skills/ directory of your repository.

Can I restrict which tools a custom skill can use?

Yes, you can use the 'allowed-tools' field in the YAML frontmatter to limit Claude's access to a specific comma-separated list of tools, such as Read, Grep, or Glob.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

A Claude Code Skill is a specialized capability defined in a SKILL.md file that provides domain-specific guidance, best practices, and implementation patterns to enhance Claude's behavior during tasks.

Why isn't Claude picking up my custom skill?

Claude discovers skills via the description field. Ensure your description is specific, includes trigger words, and follows the formula: [What it does] + [When to use it] + [Key triggers].
