How do you scaffold a new Claude Code skill?
Bootstrap new Claude Code skills from a standard template—structure, metadata, triggers, and examples—so custom agent capabilities stay consistent across projects.
Who is it for?
Developers authoring their first Claude Code skill or standardizing skill structure across a shared agent capability library.
Skip if: Teams that need a fully implemented domain workflow skill rather than an empty scaffold requiring complete custom content.
When should I use this skill?
A user asks to create a new Claude Code skill, bootstrap a SKILL.md template, or standardize skill metadata and triggers.
What you get
SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter, description, trigger metadata, and structured instruction body ready for customization.
- SKILL.md scaffold with frontmatter and instruction sections
