Create Skill FAQs

Question 1

How does this skill improve my development workflow?

Accepted Answer

By enforcing standardized structures and naming conventions, the Create Skill eliminates ambiguity. It allows you to build a library of project-agnostic tools that can be easily registered across different environments (.claude, .codex, etc.), ensuring Claude always follows your preferred patterns and best practices.

Question 2

When should I use this skill?

Accepted Answer

You should use this skill whenever you are developing or modifying a new capability for your AI agent. It is essential when you want to create a reusable workflow—such as a specific code review process or a frontend deployment routine—that needs to be discovered automatically by Claude via the /help command.

Question 3

Why is YAML frontmatter mandatory in SKILL.md?

Accepted Answer

YAML frontmatter is critical because it contains the metadata (name and description) that Claude uses for automatic skill discovery. The description in the frontmatter tells the agent exactly WHAT the skill does and WHEN to invoke it, allowing for seamless integration into the agent's decision-making process.

Question 4

What are the requirements for a valid skill name?

Accepted Answer

To ensure compatibility and discovery, skill names must be 64 characters or fewer, using only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens. Spaces, underscores, and special characters are strictly prohibited to maintain consistency across agentic environments.

Question 5

What is the Create Skill for Claude Code?

Accepted Answer

The Create Skill is a meta-framework designed to standardize how new capabilities are built for Claude Code and other Agentic Terminal User Interfaces (ATUI). It establishes strict rules for directory organization, naming conventions (lowercase/hyphenated), and the use of SKILL.md files to ensure AI agents can discover and use new skills effectively.
