Guide creating and reviewing skills that extend Claude with specialized knowledge, workflows, or tool integrations. Covers SKILL.md structure, frontmatter quality, trigger design, eval pipelines, and packaging. Triggers on create a skill, review this skill, new skill, optimize skill, skill quality.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Skill Creator

This skill provides guidance for creating effective skills.

## About Skills

Skills are modular, self-contained packages that extend Claude's capabilities by providing specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools. Think of them as "onboarding guides" for specific domains or tasks—they transform Claude from a general-purpose agent into a specialized agent equipped with procedural knowledge that no model can fully possess.

Skills follow the [Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io/) open standard, with Claude Code extensions for invocation control, subagent execution, and dynamic context injection.

### What Skills Provide

1. Specialized workflows - Multi-step procedures for specific domains
2. Tool integrations - Instructions for working with specific file formats or APIs
3. Domain expertise - Company-specific knowledge, schemas, business logic
4. Bundled resources - Scripts, references, and assets for complex and repetitive tasks

### Anatomy of a Skill

Every skill consists of a required SKILL.md file and optional bundled resources:

```
skill-name/
├── SKILL.md (required)
│   ├── YAML frontmatter metadata
│   └── Markdown instructions
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tdimino/claude-code-minoan/skill-optimizer@sha256:ce2bbab46c657a7e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260416.4e43d41, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
