Creating Skills

This is the meta-skill for building Claude Code skills themselves. It walks you through the full structure: SKILL.md frontmatter fields, the three-level progressive disclosure system (metadata, instructions, bundled resources), and newer features like dynamic context injection and subagent execution with `context: fork`. The guidance is opinionated in useful ways: keep descriptions under 1024 chars with clear trigger phrases, stay under 500 lines in SKILL.md, don't create wrapper scripts for single commands, and match your specificity to how fragile the task is. If you're building custom skills or trying to understand how the skill system actually works, this is the reference.
