As a bonus you can get Claude to create the SKILL.md file itself.
Which kind of sounds pointless if Claude already knows what to do, why create a document?
My examples - I interact with ElasticSearch and Claude keeps forgetting it is version 5.2 and we need to use the appropriate REST API. So I got it to create a SKILL.md about what we used and provided examples.
And the next one was getting it to write instructions on how to use ImageMagik on Windows, with examples and trouble shooting, rather than it trying to use the Linux versions over and over.
Skills are the solution the problems I have been having. And came just at the right time as I already spent half of last week making similar documents !
