What tools are required to use the Sharing Skills workflow?

You need the GitHub CLI (gh) installed and authenticated, along with a local clone of your skills repository situated in the standard configuration directory.

Can I submit multiple skills in a single pull request?

No, it is best practice to create independent feature branches and separate PRs for each skill to ensure they can be reviewed and merged individually.

How do I ensure my skill is ready for upstream contribution?

A shareable skill must be broadly applicable, well-tested using TDD processes, and fully documented according to the writing-skills meta guidelines.

When should I keep a Claude Code skill private?

Skills should remain private if they are project-specific, contain sensitive organizational information, or are in an experimental and unstable state.
