Skill Writing & TDD Documentation FAQs

Question 1

Why should I avoid workflow summaries in skill descriptions?

Accepted Answer

If a description summarizes the workflow, Claude may follow the brief summary instead of reading the full skill content, potentially missing critical steps or logic.

Question 2

How does this help with token efficiency?

Accepted Answer

It provides strategies like moving details to tool help-flags, using cross-references instead of repeating instructions, and compressing code examples to minimal forms.

Question 3

What is the recommended directory structure for skills?

Accepted Answer

Skills should live in a flat namespace within a 'skills/' directory, where each skill has its own folder containing a required SKILL.md file and optional supporting assets.

Question 4

What is Test-Driven Development for skills?

Accepted Answer

It is a process where you verify an agent fails a task without a skill (Red), write the skill (Green), and then verify the agent passes, ensuring the documentation is strictly necessary and effective.

Question 5

When should I create a new skill versus updating a CLAUDE.md?

Accepted Answer

Create a skill when the technique applies broadly across multiple projects; use CLAUDE.md for conventions that are specific to a single repository.
