skill-development
This skill uses Claude hooks which can execute code automatically in response to events. Review carefully before installing.
Skill Development for Claude Code Plugins
This skill provides guidance for creating effective skills for Claude Code plugins.
About Skills
Skills are modular, self-contained packages that extend Claude's capabilities by providing specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools. Think of them as "onboarding guides" for specific domains or tasks—they transform Claude from a general-purpose agent into a specialized agent equipped with procedural knowledge that no model can fully possess.
Skill Precedence
When multiple skills share the same name, precedence determines which loads:
- Enterprise (managed settings) — highest priority
- Personal (
~/.claude/skills/) - Project (
.claude/skills/) - Plugin skills — lowest priority
