Creating Agent Skills
This skill teaches how to create effective Claude Code Skills following Anthropic's official specification.
Core Principles
1. Skills Are Prompts
All prompting best practices apply. Be clear, be direct. Assume Claude is smart - only add context Claude doesn't have.
2. Standard Markdown Format
Use YAML frontmatter + markdown body. No XML tags - use standard markdown headings.
