# Example Skill A demonstration skill showing the proper structure and format for Claude Code skills. ## When to Use This Skill - Creating new skills and need a reference - Understanding skill structure and best practices - Learning how to bundle resources with skills ## What This Skill Does 1. Demonstrates proper YAML frontmatter format 2. Shows content structure requirements 3. Provides examples of bundled resources 4. Illustrates best practices for skill documentation ## Core Principles ### Principle 1: Clear Purpose Skills should have a clear, well-defined purpose. The "When to Use" section should make it obvious when to apply the skill. ### Principle 2: Progressive Disclosure Structure content from high-level overview to detailed implementation. Start with "When to Use" and "What This Skill Does" before diving into workflows. ### Principle 3: Actionable Workflows Provide step-by-step workflows that can be followed directly. Include examples and anti-patterns. ## Workflow ### Step 1: Identify Need Determine if this skill is appropriate for the current task. ### Step 2: Review Documentation Read the skill documentation to understand capabilities and limitations. ### Step 3: Apply Skill Follow the workflow steps to apply the skill. ### Step 4: Validate Results Check that the skill achieved the intended outcome. ## Best Practices - Keep skills focused on a single domain or capability - Include clear examples and use cases - Document anti-patterns to avoid common mistakes - Bundle resources when they add value ## Anti-Patterns - Creating overly broad skills that try to do everything - Skipping the "When to Use" section - Missing examples or use cases - Not documenting bundled resources ## Examples ### Example 1: Basic Usage **Scenario:** Creating a new skill for code review **Approach:** 1. Review this example skill structure 2. Use the template from `steve/templates/AGENT_SKILL.template.md` 3. Fill in domain-specific content 4. Add bundled resources if needed ## Reference Files This skill includes reference files in `references/`: - `structure-guide.md`: Detailed structure guidelines - `examples.md`: Additional examples
