SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Starting a new Skill from scratch requires remembering the required SKILL.md structure, YAML frontmatter fields, and directory conventions. This template gives authors a ready-made skeleton to fill in. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Frontmatter Scaffold: Ships a SKILL.md with the mandatory name and description YAML frontmatter already in place. - Instruction Placeholder: Includes a marked section where the skill's operational instructions should be written. - Use Case: A developer creating a new Claude skill copies this directory, renames it, replaces the placeholder description, and writes the instruction body without consulting format documentation. ## Quick Start Copy this template directory, rename it, and replace the placeholder name, description, and instructions with your new skill's content.

Frequently Asked Questions about template-skill

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

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

Copy the template-skill directory, rename it to your skill's name, then edit SKILL.md to replace the placeholder name and description in the YAML frontmatter and write your instructions in the body below it.

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

A valid SKILL.md requires YAML frontmatter containing at least a name and a description, which are used for skill discovery. The Markdown body after the frontmatter holds the operational instructions loaded when the skill activates.

Can a skill include scripts and reference files?▼

Yes, a skill may optionally include scripts/, references/, and assets/ directories alongside SKILL.md. Scripts run for deterministic tasks, references provide in-depth reading material, and assets store document information.

Why is my skill not being discovered?▼

Discovery fails when SKILL.md is missing at the skill root or its frontmatter lacks a name or description. Verify the file is named SKILL.md and the YAML frontmatter block is correctly delimited with triple dashes.
