📦 What is a SKILL?

Learn the basic concepts, file structure, and how to get AI skill packages

SKILL is a skill package that bundles AI prompts, workflows, and configuration files. Think of it as a "professional manual" — once imported into your AI tool, the AI can follow the manual to complete specific tasks at a professional level.

For example:

A "Python Code Review" SKILL contains a professional code review checklist, security vulnerability detection rules, and performance optimization templates. Once imported into Claude Code, simply say "review this code" and the AI will perform a thorough review using professional methods.

Each skill package is a zip file containing the following:

skill-package/
├── skill.md       [Required] SKILL Prompt / instructions
├── README.md      [Required] Usage guide (features, steps, requirements)
├── EXAMPLES.md    [Recommended] Input/output examples
├── CHANGELOG.md   [Recommended] Version changelog
├── workflow.yml   [Optional] Workflow configuration
├── config.json    [Optional] Skill config parameters
└── assets/        [Optional] Screenshots, demo files

[Required] Every skill package must include skill.md and README.md

[Recommended] Providing examples helps users get started faster

[Optional] Add as needed based on skill type
