What is a Claude Code Skill?

A Claude Code Skill is a specialized instruction set and workflow that enhances the Claude CLI's behavior for specific tasks, providing domain-specific guidance and implementation patterns.

What is the 4C methodology used in Stage 2?

The 4C method stands for Collect, Curate, Contextualize, and Codify. It is a research framework that allows the agent to acquire and structure new domain knowledge when no existing skill templates are found.

How does the Token Optimization stage work?

It uses the skill-optimizer to analyze line counts, moving large examples and templates to external files to ensure the core SKILL.md remains under 300 lines for maximum context efficiency.

Can I publish my skills directly to GitHub?

Yes, Skill Creator includes a publishing stage that handles git initialization, repository creation, and pushes the final skill with an automated installation command for others to use.
