How do I install a skill from a URL?

Use the skill-creator to fetch the remote content, extract the metadata, and automatically set up the required directory structure in your local workspace.

What is the recommended naming convention for skills?

Skills should use lowercase hyphen-case names (e.g., 'my-custom-skill') under 64 characters to ensure compatibility and consistent triggering.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

A specialized capability package that provides domain-specific guidance, tools, and best practices to enhance an AI agent's performance on specific tasks.

Can I add custom scripts to my skills?

Yes, the skill-creator supports a dedicated /scripts directory for executable code (Python or Bash) that the agent can call for deterministic execution.

Why should I put documentation in SKILL.md instead of separate files?

Consolidating documentation in SKILL.md ensures the agent has immediate access to context without the token overhead of searching and reading multiple external files.
