Add Skill

You are adding a new skill to a Claude Code plugin. Follow these steps:

1. Gather Information

Ask the user for:

  • Plugin path (which plugin to add to, or current directory)
  • Skill name (lowercase, e.g., my-skill)
  • Description (when should Claude use this skill?)
  • User-invocable (show in / menu? default: true)
  • What should it do? (the actual instructions)

2. Create Skill Directory

<plugin>/skills/<skill-name>/
└── SKILL.md

3. Generate SKILL.md

Use this format:

---
name: <skill-name>
description: <description>. Use when <trigger condition>.
user-invocable: <true|false>
---

# <Skill Name>

<Instructions for Claude on how to execute this skill>

## Steps

1. <Step 1>
2. <Step 2>
3. ...

## Guidelines

- <Guideline 1>
- <Guideline 2>

4. Frontmatter Reference

Available frontmatter fields:

  • name (required): Skill identifier
  • description (required): When Claude should use this skill
  • user-invocable: Show in / menu (default: true)
  • disable-model-invocation: Block auto-invocation (default: false)
  • allowed-tools: Restrict which tools the skill can use

5. Best Practices

  • Description matters: Claude uses it to decide when to invoke
  • Be specific: Include trigger conditions ("Use when...")
  • Structure instructions: Use numbered steps, headers, examples
  • Keep it focused: One skill = one capability
