Claude Skill Development Template

About

Designed as a pedagogical resource rather than a business tool, this skill teaches developers how to construct their own specialized capabilities for Claude Code. It demonstrates the 'Progressive Disclosure' workflow, which optimizes performance by loading heavy documentation and executable scripts only when necessary. Users can learn how to organize skill directories, write effective YAML frontmatter to trigger model recognition, and structure SKILL.md files as executable checklists, making it an essential starting point for teams looking to codify their internal processes and automation scripts.

Key Features
