Anthropic's internal skill-authoring playbook. 9 skill categories, gotchas-section pattern, progressive disclosure (SKILL.md hub + spoke files), description-as-trigger discipline, config.json first-run setup, persistent CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA storage, CLAUDE_EFFORT effort-aware behavior, helper scripts, on-demand session-scoped hooks, distribution, and composition. Use when: creating or reviewing a SKILL.md, choosing a skill's category or structure, writing its description or gotchas section, or as…

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'skill-authoring' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'skill-authoring' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named skill-authoring already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/melodic-software/claude-code-plugins' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '677e7988f432dacb5e2d4df2b124f96da8e8f9f3' -- 'plugins/playbooks/skills/skill-authoring' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/playbooks/skills/skill-authoring' ~/.agents/skills/'skill-authoring' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'skill-authoring' ~/.claude/skills/'skill-authoring' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
