About
template-skill is a Claude Code agent skill scaffold from davila7/claude-code-templates that bootstraps a new skill with the correct file structure, trigger description, and instruction sections contributors expect in a shared templates repository. The bundled SKILL.md frontmatter includes name and description placeholders—"Replace with description of the skill and when Claude should use it"—plus a heading where authors insert operational instructions below. Developers reach for template-skill when publishing a new agent capability and want consistent formatting across many skills instead of copying ad-hoc markdown from older repos. The skill accelerates contributor onboarding in claude-code-templates by standardizing how triggers are written and how body sections are organized. Use it at skill creation time before filling in domain-specific workflows, checklists, or integration steps.
- Provides a canonical skill skeleton and sections
- Encodes naming, triggers, and packaging conventions
- Speeds creation of new repo-local skills
