# Skills Factory A comprehensive meta-skill for creating, validating, and iterating on production-ready Claude Code skills. ## About Skills Skills extend Claude Code's capabilities with specialized knowledge and workflows. They use a **progressive disclosure system** that loads content in three levels: 1. **Metadata** (YAML) - Always loaded at startup (~100 tokens) 2. **Instructions** (SKILL.md body) - Loaded when triggered (<5,000 tokens) 3. **Resources** (supporting files) - Loaded as needed (effectively unlimited) Skills are filesystem-based tools that live in `~/.claude/skills/` (personal) or `.claude/skills/` (project-specific). ## Skill Creation Process ### Step 1: Understanding the Domain Before writing anything, deeply understand what you're building: **Ask Critical Questions:** - What specific problem does this skill solve? - Who is the user and what's their context? - What tasks should be automated vs. guided? - What knowledge must Claude have vs. can reference? - How will success be measured? **Research Thoroughly:** - Review similar existing skills - Study relevant documentation - Understand the workflow domain - Identify edge cases and failure modes **Define Success Criteria:** - What specific outcomes indicate the skill works? - What would success look like without the skill vs. with it? - How will you evaluate effectiveness? **See:** [references/EVALUATION_GUIDE.md](references/EVALUATION_GUIDE.md) for evaluation-driven development methodology. ###
