Guide for creating effective skills. This skill should be used when users want to create a new skill (or update an existing skill) that extends Claude's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, or tool integrations.

TL;DR

Guide for creating skills that extend Claude with domain expertise, workflows, and tools.

Modular packages extending Claude's capabilities
Provide specialized knowledge and workflows
Include scripts, references, and assets for complex tasks
Enable context-efficient, on-demand resource loading

Key Features

Specialized workflows for specific domains
Tool integrations with APIs or file formats
Domain expertise like company policies or schemas
Bundled resources for scripts, references, and assets
Progressive disclosure loading system
Separates context-heavy docs from executable code
Supports deterministic, reusable operations
Enables efficient context management

How to Use

1.Understand skill use cases with concrete examples
2.Plan reusable content: scripts, references, assets
3.Structure SKILL.md with clear metadata and instructions
4.Organize resources into scripts, references, and assets
5.Follow progressive disclosure design principles

Guardrails & Gotchas

Metadata must be specific and in third person
Avoid duplication between SKILL.md and references
References should be loaded only when needed
Scripts may still need to be read by Claude
Assets are not loaded into context, only used in output
Never include large files (>10k words) in references without grep patterns
