Skill Development Rules

When working with files in .claude/skills/:

SKILL.md Structure

DO

  • Keep SKILL.md concise (< 200 lines)
  • Include clear "When to Use" section
  • Provide copy-paste bash commands
  • Reference scripts/ for MCP operations
  • Add triggers to skill-rules.json

DON'T

  • Include implementation details in SKILL.md
  • Duplicate content across skills
  • Create skills without corresponding trigger in skill-rules.json
  • Use allowed-tools that aren't needed

MCP Wrapper Skills

For skills that wrap MCP scripts:

  • Use allowed-tools: [Bash, Read] to restrict capabilities
  • Point to the script in scripts/ directory
  • Include parameter documentation

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take parcadei/skill-development from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
