SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? This Skill gives plugin developers a starting skeleton for authoring new skills, removing the guesswork around required frontmatter fields and file structure when extending a Claude Code plugin. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Frontmatter Template: Ships a ready-made SKILL.md with the mandatory name and description fields already in place. - Authoring Guidance: Includes inline reminders to document inputs, outputs, mandatory rules, and examples. - Use Case: When building a partner plugin for the vibe-ic marketplace, copy this sample-skill directory, rename it, and replace the placeholder description and body with your own skill instructions. ## Quick Start Copy the sample-skill directory into your plugin's skills folder and ask the AI to replace its placeholder content with instructions for your new skill.

Frequently Asked Questions about sample-skill

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a new skill for a Claude Code plugin?▼

Create a directory containing a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter defining a name and description, followed by Markdown instructions. This sample-skill template provides that minimal structure to copy and customize.

What fields are required in a SKILL.md file?▼

A SKILL.md file requires YAML frontmatter with at least a name and a description field. The description tells the AI when to invoke the skill, and the Markdown body holds the operational instructions.

Can I add scripts or references to a skill directory?▼

Yes, a skill may include optional scripts, references, and assets directories alongside SKILL.md. Scripts run deterministic tasks, references provide in-depth reading, and assets store documents used by the skill.

When should I not use this sample skill template?▼

Do not ship it unchanged, since its description is placeholder text that will not match real user intent. Replace the name, description, and body with actual skill content before publishing your plugin.
