"Skills are a set of instructions that extend Claude's capabilities for a particular task. When a skill you've crafted doesn't work, the problem usually falls into one of three areas. 1. The skill is not triggered The nice thing about skills is that Claude Code will use the right skill for the right task automatically. Claude scans the skill collection it has and chooses the skill that works best for the task at hand. But sometimes you can face a problem where Claude ignores your skill."
"There are a few reasons for that: Wrong skill file name or directory The core part of the skill is a markdown file that contains pretty much all information and instructions that Claude Code needs to know to get the job done and the file name should be exactly SKILL.md The skill location should be a directory with the skill name. For example, if you're crafting a skill called ' super-landing-page ' that improves Claude's abilities in a landing page design, the folder structure should be:"
"skills/└── super-landing-page/ └── SKILL.md"
Skills extend Claude’s capabilities for specific tasks. When a crafted skill does not work, the issue typically falls into three areas. One common problem is that the skill is not triggered, even though Claude Code normally selects the best matching skill automatically by scanning available skills. Claude may ignore a skill due to incorrect placement or naming. The core instructions must be in a markdown file named exactly SKILL.md. The skill must also be located in a directory named for the skill, with the structure following skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md, such as skills/super-landing-page/SKILL.md.
