How do I prevent Claude from automatically invoking a skill?

Set 'disable-model-invocation: true' in the YAML frontmatter of your skill or command file to ensure it only runs when explicitly called.

What is the difference between a command and a skill in Claude Code?

Commands are simple, single-file workflows for specific actions, while skills are directories that support reference files, background knowledge, and complex context loading.

Can I run shell commands within a Claude Code skill?

Yes, you can use the dynamic context injection syntax (e.g., !`command`) to run shell commands and include their output in the prompt sent to Claude.

What is the 'context: fork' feature used for?

It runs the skill in an isolated subagent context, using the skill content as the prompt without inheriting the main conversation history, ideal for deep research.

How should I organize large amounts of documentation within a skill?

Use progressive disclosure by keeping the primary SKILL.md under 500 lines and linking to detailed reference files located one level deep within the skill directory.
