Where should I store my new Claude skills?

Personal skills are stored in ~/.claude/skills/, while project-specific skills should be placed in .claude/skills/ to be tracked via version control.

How does the Skill Creator enforce best practices?

It uses a validation checklist to ensure proper gerund naming (verb-ing-noun), restricts file length to under 500 lines, and ensures all reference files are only one level deep.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

A Claude Code Skill is a specialized capability that provides domain-specific guidance, best practices, and implementation patterns to enhance Claude's behavior when performing specific technical tasks.

What is the benefit of progressive disclosure in skills?

Progressive disclosure keeps the main SKILL.md file lean and fast to load, moving detailed examples and edge cases into reference files that Claude only accesses when necessary.
