FAQPage Schema
How do I create a new Claude Code skill from scratch?▼

To create a Claude Code skill, provide a kebab-case name, description, purpose, and trigger phrases. This generates a ready-to-use scaffold with a standard SKILL.md entry point and supporting folder structure.

What is the required folder structure for a Claude Code skill?▼

A Claude Code skill requires a SKILL.md entry file and a knowledge folder. The scaffold enforces this structure along with concise single-line metadata to ensure the repository's template rules are met.

Can I use any naming convention when setting up a new developer slash-command?▼

No, setting up a new developer slash-command requires kebab-case naming. The template enforcement mechanism checks for this specific format to maintain consistency across reusable developer assistants.

What's the best way to automate skill scaffolding for repeatable workflows?▼

Automating skill scaffolding is best done by turning a short request into a template-driven creation workflow. This removes the friction of manual setup by automatically generating the required SKILL.md and folder structure.

Do I need to manually write frontmatter metadata for my skill template?▼

No, you do not need to manually write frontmatter metadata. The scaffold generation process automatically produces a concise SKILL.md file with the required single-line metadata and template rules included.

When should I use a generated skill scaffold instead of building manually?▼

You should use a generated skill scaffold when you need a new slash-command skill for a repeatable workflow, idea, or internal helper. It enforces template rules automatically, avoiding the friction and errors of manual setup.
