|A starter template from Awesome Claude Skills that provides the standard SKILL.md structure, frontmatter format, and folder layout for creating new Claude skills.
Overview
template-skill is a starter template from the Awesome Claude Skills collection by Composio. It provides the standard file structure, SKILL.md frontmatter format, and folder organization needed to create new Claude skills. The template follows the skill best practices outlined in the Awesome Claude Skills repository, which hosts a curated list of over 100 practical skills for Claude.ai, Claude Code, and the Claude API.
Key Features
- Standard skill structure: Provides the canonical folder layout with SKILL.md (required), plus optional scripts/, templates/, and resources/ directories.
- YAML frontmatter template: Includes the required name and description fields in YAML frontmatter format, following the specification used across all Awesome Claude Skills entries.
- Best practices built in: Incorporates the repository's documented skill best practices including focused task design, clear examples, edge case documentation, cross-platform testing guidance, and error handling patterns.
- Cross-platform portability: Skills created from this template work across Claude.ai, Claude Code, and the Claude API without modification, as the SKILL.md format is the universal contract.
- Section scaffolding: Pre-structures the skill documentation with "When to Use This Skill", "Instructions", and "Examples" sections to guide skill authors.
