What is a Claude Code Skill?

A Claude Code Skill is a specialized capability that provides domain-specific guidance and implementation patterns which Claude uses autonomously during tasks.

How do skills differ from standard CLI commands?

Commands are explicitly invoked by the user, whereas skills are model-invoked capabilities that Claude incorporates into its logic based on context.

How does Claude know when to activate a specific skill?

Claude uses the 'description' field in the SKILL.md frontmatter to identify keywords, phrases, and topics that match the user's request.

Can I include examples or scripts in my skill?

Yes, the recommended structure supports subdirectories for examples, references, and helper scripts to provide additional context to Claude.

What files are required for a Claude Code skill?

The only mandatory file is SKILL.md, located within a specific subdirectory in the skills/ folder of a plugin.
