What is a Claude Skill?

A Claude Skill is a self-contained reusable instruction package that gives Claude a specific capability. Each skill lives in its own folder and contains a SKILL.md file that defines its purpose, instructions, output rules, and examples. Skills can also include resource files (schemas, templates, data) and scripts.

Common mistakes

❌

Vague instructions

Instructions like "extract the data" are too vague. Specify exactly what to extract, how to handle missing fields, and what format to return.

❌

Missing output rules

Without output rules the model chooses its own format. Define exactly what the output should look like.

❌

No examples

Examples are the most effective teaching mechanism. Include at least one input/output example.

❌

No constraints

Without constraints the model may exceed scope. Add explicit limits like "max 100 items" or "do not modify source data".
