What is the primary purpose of the Skill Development skill?

It provides a standardized framework and set of rules for creating and managing new domain-specific capabilities within the Claude Code environment.

Why are skills limited to 200 lines in this framework?

Keeping skills concise ensures that Claude stays focused on high-level guidance rather than getting lost in implementation details, preventing context pollution.

How does this skill handle MCP scripts?

It provides guidelines for wrapping MCP scripts into skills, including using allowed-tools for capability restriction and documenting script parameters.

How do I ensure a new skill is properly activated?

Following these rules requires adding a corresponding trigger to the skill-rules.json file, which tells Claude when to invoke the specific skill.
