What you'll learn
Set Up Your First SKILL.md File
Learn to build the folder and SKILL.md file a skill needs, and what goes in the frontmatter versus the body.
Pick a Workflow Worth Turning Into a Skill
Learn to spot which of your repeated workflows fit a skill, and which ones are too open-ended to be worth it.
Write a Description That Actually Triggers
Learn to write the description field with real trigger phrases so Claude Code loads your skill when you need it.
Build, Install, and Test a Commit Message Skill
Learn to build a working commit-message-writer skill end to end, install it, test it, and fix what does not trigger.
Why this topic matters
Don't treat Claude Code like a chatbot, re-explaining the same workflow every session and getting a different answer each time. A skill is a markdown file that loads automatically and runs your workflow the same way every time. Skip it and you keep paying tokens to re-teach your own process. Skills follow an open standard, so the same file works in Copilot, Cursor, and Gemini CLI.
