What this skill does
Skill Creator This skill provides guidance for creating effective skills. 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. What Skills Provide 1. Specialized workflows - Multi-step procedures for specific domains 2. Tool integrations - Instructions for working with specific file formats or APIs 3. Domain expertise - Company-specific knowledge, schemas, business logic 4. Bundled resources - Scripts, references, and assets for complex and repetitive tasks Anatomy of a Skill Every skill consists of a required SKILL.md file and optional bundled resources: Requirements (important) Skill should be combined into specific topics, for example: cloudflare, cloudflare-r2, cloudflare-workers, docker, gcloud should be combined into devops SKILL.md should be less than 200 lines and include the references of related markdown files and scripts. Each script or referenced markdown file should be also less than 200 lines, remember that you can always split them into multiple files (progressive disclosure principle). Descriptions in metadata of SKILL.md files should be both concise and still contains enough usecases of the references and scripts, this will help skills can be activated automatically during the implementation process of Claude Code. Referenced markdowns: Sacrifice grammar for the sake of concision when writing these files. Can reference other markdown files or scripts as well. Referenced scripts: Prefer nodejs or python scripts instead of bash script, because bash scripts are not well-supported on Windows. …
