Skill Writing

Purpose

Guide the creation of new Claude Code skills following official best practices to ensure optimal performance, discoverability, and maintainability.

Quick Start Workflow

Step 1: Identify the Gap

Ask: Does Claude really need this skill?

# Test Claude's baseline performance WITHOUT the skill
# - Can Claude already do this task reasonably well?
# - What specific knowledge/capability is missing?
# - Will a skill genuinely improve results?
