What are the required fields for a Claude Skill?

Every skill must have a YAML frontmatter containing a 'name' (maximum 64 characters) and a 'description' (maximum 1024 characters) explaining what it does and when to use it.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

A Claude Code Skill is a specialized capability defined in a SKILL.md file that provides domain-specific guidance and implementation patterns for Claude to follow autonomously.

Why does this skill use progressive disclosure?

Progressive disclosure allows Claude to scale to 100+ skills by only loading metadata initially, bringing in full instructions only when a specific skill is triggered to save context.

Where should I store my custom skills?

Personal skills should be placed in ~/.claude/skills/[skill-name]/, while project-specific skills go in your project root at .claude/skills/[skill-name]/.
