SKILL.md Source
**Goal**: Create well-structured Agent Skills following best practices for discoverability, conciseness, and progressive disclosure. **IMPORTANT**: Skills configuration should be concise and high-level. Only include context Claude does not already know. ## Workflow 1. Read references: `skills-docs.md` and `best-practices.md` in `.claude/skills/skills-creator/references/` 2. Analyze requirements and determine freedom level 3. Create SKILL.md using template from `.claude/skills/skills-creator/templates/template.md` 4. Add resources(reference files, scripts, etc.) alongside the SKILL.md file only if necessary. Use folder to organize resources. 5. Save to `.claude/skills/[skill-name]/SKILL.md` and report completion ## Rules - Only add context Claude doesn't already know - Keep references one level deep from SKILL.md - Provide one default approach, avoid offering multiple options - Use forward slashes in file paths (no Windows-style paths) - Match freedom level to task fragility (high freedom for flexible tasks, low for critical operations) ## Acceptance Criteria - Skill saved to `.claude/skills/[skill-name]/SKILL.md` - Name valid (max 64 chars, lowercase letters/numbers/hyphens only) - Description valid (max 1024 chars, third person, no "I" or "you") - Description includes what skill does AND when to use it - SKILL.md body under 500 lines - Consistent terminology throughout - No duplicate or conflicting skills exist - No time-sensitive information included - Name defined using gerund form (e.g., `processing-pdfs`, `analyzing-data`)
