What is the recommended structure for a new skill?

A standard skill directory includes a required SKILL.md file, and optional directories for scripts, references, and static assets.

How does this skill help with validation?

It includes automated PostToolUse hooks that run scripts to check for namespace conflicts and ensure your directory structure follows the Agent Skills specification.

How do I optimize my skill's performance?

Keep SKILL.md under 500 lines, use progressive disclosure for documentation, and validate your skill across different Claude models like Sonnet and Haiku.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

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

Can I inject dynamic data into my skills?

Yes, this skill provides documentation and patterns for using bang-backtick syntax to run shell commands and inject live data like git state or CLI output into Claude's context.
