SKILL.md7.3 KB

Overview

This skill captures practical expertise for the Claude Code ecosystem, covering the CLI tool, extensibility (agents, skills, output styles), and CLAUDE.md project instructions and optimization. It helps you configure, create, deploy, and troubleshoot Claude Code components with enterprise and CI/CD patterns in mind.

How this skill works

The skill inspects project structure, recommended frontmatter, and activation patterns to decide whether to build an agent, a skill, or an output style. It guides CLI configuration (slash commands, MCP servers, hooks, plugins) and provides concrete templates and heuristics for initializing and optimizing CLAUDE.md files and agent/skill YAML. It also highlights token budgets, model selection, and enterprise integration points.

When to use it

Setting up or configuring the Claude Code CLI, MCP servers, or enterprise features
Creating or deciding between an agent, a skill, or an output style for your project
Initializing a CLAUDE.md file or optimizing an existing one for token efficiency
Integrating Claude Code with CI/CD pipelines or IDEs
Troubleshooting CLI issues, hooks, plugins, or deployment failures

Best practices

Use the 3-file rule: 3+ files → agent, single-file patterns → skill
Write frontmatter that reads like a "when to use" guide and includes activation verbs
Constrain tools to 2–3 essential ones; avoid kitchen-sink agents
Target CLAUDE.md token budgets (simple 100–200, medium 200–400, complex 400–800)
Reduce CLAUDE.md length and aim for focused, practitioner voice over step lists

Example use cases

Create a focused code-review agent that runs grep, read, and a small bash tool for fast diagnostics
Author a domain skill that recognizes specific error messages and returns repair patterns instead of step-by-step procedures
Initialize a CLAUDE.md for a new repo: analyze languages, extract commands, validate token count, and produce a <400-line file
Add MCP server config and CI/CD integration for enterprise deployment with SSO and sandboxing
Optimize an existing CLAUDE.md to cut tokens by 40%+ while preserving critical guidance

FAQ

Prefer agents when the extension runs independently across multiple files or needs multiple tools; prefer skills when guiding the user with domain knowledge or single-file patterns.

How do I reduce CLAUDE.md token usage effectively?

Remove redundancy, focus on actionable patterns, compress examples, and prefer short mission statements; target a 40%+ reduction while keeping critical context.
