Where should I store my custom Claude Skills?

Personal skills for individual workflows should be placed in '~/.claude/skills/', while project-specific skills intended for team sharing should be kept in the '.claude/skills/' directory of your repository.

Why isn't my custom skill activating in Claude Code?

Activation issues are usually caused by vague descriptions. Ensure your SKILL.md frontmatter includes specific trigger words, file extensions, and a clear 'Use when...' clause that describes the intended context.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

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

What are the naming requirements for a Claude Skill?

Skill names must use lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only, with a maximum of 64 characters. The 'name' field in the YAML frontmatter must exactly match the directory name containing the SKILL.md file.
