# Skill: Write Skills
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
Creating effective Claude skills requires Test-Driven Development applied to process documentation. Skills are reusable reference guides - not narratives about solving problems once.
|
||||
|
||||
## The Iron Law
|
||||
**No skill exists without a failing test first.** Follow RED-GREEN-REFACTOR:
|
||||
- **RED**: Run scenarios with subagents WITHOUT the skill to establish baseline
|
||||
- **GREEN**: Write minimal skill addressing gaps, verify compliance with skill present
|
||||
- **REFACTOR**: Identify loopholes and add explicit counters until bulletproof
|
||||
|
||||
## YAML Frontmatter (Required)
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
---
|
||||
name: my-skill-name # Letters, numbers, hyphens only
|
||||
description: Use when [trigger conditions]. [What it does]. [Key differentiator].
|
||||
---
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Required Sections
|
||||
1. **Overview** - What this skill does (2-3 sentences)
|
||||
2. **When to Use** - Specific triggers and symptoms
|
||||
3. **Core Pattern** - The main workflow/checklist
|
||||
4. **Quick Reference** - Condensed version for recall
|
||||
5. **Implementation** - Step-by-step instructions
|
||||
6. **Common Mistakes** - Anti-patterns to avoid
|
||||
|
||||
## Description Field (Critical for Discovery)
|
||||
The description drives Claude Search Optimization. Answer: "Should I load this skill now?"
|
||||
|
||||
Bad: "For async testing"
|
||||
Good: "Use when tests have race conditions, timing dependencies, or inconsistent pass/fail behavior - replaces arbitrary timeouts with condition polling"
|
||||
|
||||
## Output Format
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"status": "success",
|
||||
"skill": {
|
||||
"name": "skill-name",
|
||||
"path": "skills/category/skill-name.md",
|
||||
"description": "...",
|
||||
"token_budget": { "input": 500, "output": 800 }
|
||||
},
|
||||
"testing": {
|
||||
"baseline_failures": ["rationalization 1", "..."],
|
||||
"addressed": true
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Token Budget
|
||||
- Max input: 2000 tokens
|
||||
- Max output: 1500 tokens
|
||||
|
||||
## Model
|
||||
- Recommended: sonnet (creative reasoning for skill design)
