If you're building skills for Claude, this is your onboarding guide. It walks through the complete creation process: gathering concrete usage examples, planning what scripts and references to bundle, and structuring everything with the three-level progressive disclosure system (metadata, SKILL.md body, bundled resources). The guidance on when to use scripts versus references versus assets is specific and useful. Scripts go in when you're rewriting the same code repeatedly, references hold documentation Claude should load as needed, and assets are files that get used in output. What stands out is the emphasis on concrete examples first, then building the reusable components, which keeps you from overengineering abstractions nobody needs.

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:
