How do I trigger a specific Claude skill?

Skills are triggered through either exact keyword substring matching or regex-based intent patterns defined in the skill-rules.json configuration file.

What is the benefit of progressive disclosure for skills?

Progressive disclosure keeps the main skill concise while linking to deeper reference files, preventing Claude from being overwhelmed by too much technical detail at once.

How can I debug skill activation issues?

You can use the SKILL_DEBUG=true environment variable or dedicated yarn commands to view real-time matching logic and identify why a prompt did or did not trigger a skill.

What is the purpose of the UserPromptSubmit hook?

This hook intercepts the user's prompt before Claude sees it, allowing the system to inject relevant skill guidance as context based on detected intent.

What is the 500-line rule in Claude Code skills?

It is an Anthropic best practice stating that primary SKILL.md files should be kept under 500 lines to ensure the AI processes the information efficiently without exceeding context limits.
