Where should I store my custom skills?

Use ~/.claude/skills/ for personal workflows and .claude/skills/ within a repository for project-specific team skills.

What is the maximum length for a skill description?

The description field in the YAML frontmatter must be under 1024 characters and should include both what the skill does and when to use it.

Can I limit which tools a skill can use?

Yes, you can use the allowed-tools field in the SKILL.md frontmatter to restrict access to specific commands like Read, Grep, or Glob for security.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

A specialized capability that enhances Claude's behavior, providing domain-specific guidance and implementation patterns for specific tasks.

Why isn't my skill being activated by Claude?

Ensure your description includes specific trigger words and file extensions, and verify that the YAML frontmatter name matches the directory name exactly.
