Skill Development

About

The Skill Development skill serves as a comprehensive framework for building high-quality Claude Code plugins. It enables developers to transform Claude from a general-purpose model into a specialized agent by providing structured workflows for skill creation, resource management, and documentation. By following the included 'Progressive Disclosure' principle, users can build token-efficient skills that utilize scripts, reference materials, and assets to automate complex, domain-specific tasks with high reliability.

Key Features

• Organizational patterns for bundled resources including scripts, references, and assets.
• Validation checklists to ensure skills meet Claude Code plugin architectural requirements.
• Standardized templates for SKILL.md metadata, trigger phrases, and imperative writing styles.
• 1 GitHub stars
• Step-by-step workflows for initial skill conceptualization and planning.
• Guidelines for implementing the Three-Level Progressive Disclosure system to optimize context usage.

Use Cases

• Architecting a new Claude Code plugin from scratch with domain-specific knowledge.
• Improving skill discovery and trigger accuracy by optimizing frontmatter metadata.
• Refactoring large, monolithic skill files into lean, modular reference structures.
