What is a Claude Code skill?

A Claude Code skill is a specialized capability that provides domain-specific guidance and implementation patterns to enhance Claude's behavior during coding tasks.

How does Skill-Builder ensure my skills are valid?

It performs deep validation on YAML frontmatter, required fields, and case-sensitive tool permissions to ensure your skills load correctly in Claude Code.

Can I manage dependencies between different skills?

Yes, Skill-Builder includes a dependency manager that can check, validate, and visualize dependency trees using semantic versioning constraints.

Do I need to restart Claude Code after creating a skill?

Yes, a restart of the Claude Code environment is typically required for the system to recognize and load newly created or edited skills.

Where does the tool save new skills?

You can choose to save skills globally in the ~/.claude/skills/ directory or locally within a specific project's .claude/skills/ folder.
