How Skills Work
Skills are specialized instruction sets that Claude Code loads when relevant. Each skill:
- Lives in its own directory
- Contains a
SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter
- May include supporting files (scripts, references, documentation)
- Gets activated based on the description in frontmatter
When you invoke a skill, Claude follows the instructions in SKILL.md to help with specific tasks.
