Minimal Example Skill

This is a minimal example of a Claude skill with only the required fields.

Purpose

This skill demonstrates the absolute minimum required to create a valid skill:

  • A dedicated folder for the skill
  • A SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter
  • Required frontmatter fields: name and description

Usage

Use this as a template when creating new skills. You can add more metadata fields as needed, but name and description are always required.

Example

Hello! I'm a minimal skill example.

That's it - simple and straightforward!
