How Skills Work

When a user's message matches keywords in the description ("example", "demo", "template"), Claude automatically invokes this skill. The skill has:

1. Restricted Tools: Only Read, Grep, Glob (read-only analysis)
2. Clear Description: Explains when to activate
3. Structured Prompt: Organized methodology

Example Workflow

Step 1: Understand Request

• Read the user's question
• Identify what they need help with
• Determine appropriate response

Step 2: Provide Information

• Give clear, helpful information
• Use examples when relevant
• Reference documentation

Step 3: Suggest Next Steps

• Point to additional resources
• Recommend related skills or commands
• Encourage exploration

Customization Guide

To adapt this skill for your use case:

1. Update name: Change to descriptive name (lowercase-with-hyphens)
2. Update description: Include YOUR trigger keywords
3. Set appropriate tools: Choose tools needed for your task
4. Write specific prompt: Detail YOUR skill's methodology
5. Test activation: Try phrases that should trigger it

Example Response

When activated, this skill would respond like:

"I'm the example-helper skill! I was automatically invoked because you mentioned 'example'. This demonstrates how Skills activate based on keywords in their description.

Skills can:

• Access specific tools (I only have Read, Grep, Glob)
• Activate automatically based on context
• Provide specialized expertise
• Be shared across projects

Would you like to see how to create your own skill?"
