Example Skill
A demonstration skill showing the proper structure and format for Claude Code skills.
When to Use This Skill
- Creating new skills and need a reference
- Understanding skill structure and best practices
- Learning how to bundle resources with skills
What This Skill Does
- Demonstrates proper YAML frontmatter format
- Shows content structure requirements
- Provides examples of bundled resources
- Illustrates best practices for skill documentation
Core Principles
Principle 1: Clear Purpose
Skills should have a clear, well-defined purpose. The "When to Use" section should make it obvious when to apply the skill.
Principle 2: Progressive Disclosure
Structure content from high-level overview to detailed implementation. Start with "When to Use" and "What This Skill Does" before diving into workflows.
Principle 3: Actionable Workflows
Provide step-by-step workflows that can be followed directly. Include examples and anti-patterns.
Workflow
Step 1: Identify Need
Determine if this skill is appropriate for the current task.
Step 2: Review Documentation
Read the skill documentation to understand capabilities and limitations.
Step 3: Apply Skill
Follow the workflow steps to apply the skill.
Step 4: Validate Results
Check that the skill achieved the intended outcome.
Best Practices
- Keep skills focused on a single domain or capability
- Include clear examples and use cases
- Document anti-patterns to avoid common mistakes
- Bundle resources when they add value
Anti-Patterns
- Creating overly broad skills that try to do everything
- Skipping the "When to Use" section
- Missing examples or use cases
- Not documenting bundled resources
Examples
Example 1: Basic Usage
Scenario: Creating a new skill for code review
Approach:
- Review this example skill structure
- Use the template from
steve/templates/AGENT_SKILL.template.md - Fill in domain-specific content
- Add bundled resources if needed

Apple Human Interface Guidelines for content display components. Use this skill when the user asks about charts component, collection view, image view, web view, color well, image well, activity view, lockup, data visualization, content display, displaying images, rendering web content, color pickers, or presenting collections of items in Apple apps. Also use when the user says how should I display charts, what's the best way to show images, should I use a web view, how do I build a grid of items, what component shows media, or how do I present a share sheet. Cross-references: hig-foundations for color/typography/accessibility, hig-patterns for data visualization patterns, hig-components-layout for structural containers, hig-platforms for platform-specific component behavior.

VerifiedTrustedCommunity
GraphQL gives clients exactly the data they need - no more, no less. One endpoint, typed schema, introspection. But the flexibility that makes it powerful also makes it dangerous. Without proper controls, clients can craft queries that bring down your server. This skill covers schema design, resolvers, DataLoader for N+1 prevention, federation for microservices, and client integration with Apollo/urql. Key insight: GraphQL is a contract. The schema is the API documentation. Design it carefully.
