How does this skill help with token management?

It promotes keeping SKILL.md files concise (under 500 lines) and uses progressive disclosure patterns to load detailed reference material only when needed.

Why is the description field so important in a skill?

Claude Code uses the description to determine when to invoke a skill. This plugin helps frontload descriptions with imperative triggers to ensure the right skill is called at the right time.

What are the naming conventions for Claude Code skills?

Skills should use lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens, typically following a gerund form (verb + -ing) like 'writing-tests' or 'processing-data'.

Does this skill help with executable scripts within Claude?

Yes, it provides guidelines for script quality, explicit error handling, and dependency listing to ensure scripts run reliably in the Claude environment.

What is the primary purpose of the authoring-skills skill?

It is designed to help users create or improve Claude Code skills by ensuring they follow specific metadata, structural, and content requirements for optimal LLM performance.

学习与文档

Standardizes and optimizes the creation of Claude Code skills by enforcing official structural and metadata best practices.

关于

The Authoring Skills plugin provides a comprehensive framework for developing high-performance Claude Code skills (SKILL.md files) designed for consistent and deterministic agent behavior. It guides developers through optimizing metadata for better invocation triggers, implementing progressive disclosure to maintain context efficiency, and using standardized templates for workflows and feedback loops. By focusing on LLM execution efficiency rather than human aesthetics, this skill helps create robust capabilities that minimize token usage while maximizing task accuracy.
