How Claude Discovers Skills
Folder Scan
Claude searches the skills directory for folders containing SKILL.md.
Frontmatter Read
Claude reads YAML frontmatter from each SKILL.md and builds an inventory of available Skills.
Prompt Matching
When your prompt matches a trigger or description, Claude activates the corresponding Skill and reads the full instructions.
Keep Names Short
2-4 words are ideal. Be descriptive: code-review is better than cr or review1. The name should tell you what the Skill does at a glance.
Case Sensitivity
SKILL.md must be uppercase. skill.md or Skill.md will not be discovered by Claude.
Section Summary
Use kebab-case naming, keep names descriptive and short, and remember that SKILL.md is case-sensitive. Claude's discovery mechanism relies on consistent folder structure and clear frontmatter.
