Where are personal Claude skills stored?

Personal skills are stored in the user's home directory at ~/.claude/skills/ and are available across all projects on that machine.

What are the required fields for a new skill?

Every SKILL.md must start with YAML frontmatter containing a 'name' (maximum 64 characters) and a 'description' (maximum 1024 characters) that explains both what the skill does and when to use it.

Can I share Claude Skills with my team?

Yes, by placing skills in the .claude/skills/ folder within a project root, they become project-specific and can be committed to version control for team-wide use.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

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

How does progressive disclosure work in Claude Skills?

It uses a tiered structure (Metadata, SKILL.md body, and referenced files) to ensure Claude only loads the specific information it needs for the current task, allowing for hundreds of skills without context penalties.

소개

Skill Builder is a specialized utility designed to streamline the creation and management of custom Claude Code Skills. It ensures all generated skills adhere to the Claude Skills specification, including mandatory YAML metadata and the highly efficient three-level progressive disclosure system. By automating complex boilerplate—such as directory organization, file structures, and best-practice documentation—it allows developers to scale their Claude environment to hundreds of specialized skills without incurring context window penalties. This tool is essential for teams and individual developers looking to build domain-specific AI workflows that Claude can autonomously discover and use.
