Skill Creator

Create effective, portable skills that work across Claude.ai, Claude Code, and the API. A skill is a folderized instruction set that encodes a reusable workflow once, then applies it consistently.

Skill Structure

skill-name/
├── SKILL.md              # Required: YAML frontmatter + markdown instructions
├── scripts/              # Optional: executable code for deterministic tasks
├── references/           # Optional: docs loaded into context as needed
└── assets/               # Optional: files used in output (templates, images, fonts)

SKILL.md

Two parts:

1. Frontmatter (YAML) — name and description fields. Always in context. Determines when the skill triggers.
