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.
