# Sample Basic Skill
This is a minimal skill template. Replace this content with your own instructions.
## Quick Start
1. Copy this folder and rename it (e.g., `creating-components`)
2. Update the `name` in the YAML frontmatter (lowercase, hyphens only)
3. Write a specific `description` that includes:
- What the skill does
- When Claude should use it (trigger phrases)
4. Replace these instructions with your own
## YAML Frontmatter Requirements
```yaml
name:
- Maximum 64 characters
- Lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only
- No reserved words: "anthropic", "claude"
description:
- Maximum 1024 characters
- Must be non-empty
- Should describe WHAT and WHEN
```
## Writing Good Instructions
- Be concise (Claude is smart, don't over-explain)
- Use examples over lengthy descriptions
- Keep SKILL.md under 500 lines
- Link to separate files for detailed content
## Example
Here's a simple example of how your skill might work:
```
User: "Help me create a new component"
Claude: [Reads SKILL.md, follows your instructions]
```
