SKILL.md
What is SKILL.md?
SKILL.md is the instruction file that tells Claude or an AI coding agent how to behave for a specific expert workflow.
SKILL.md defines behavior
It tells the assistant its role, operating principles, workflow, refusal rules, and expected output standard.
It should be specific
Generic prompts do not sell well. A strong SKILL.md captures expert judgment, edge cases, and decision rules.
It needs companion docs
Buyers still need README.md and HOW_TO_USE.md so they understand what the skill does and how to start.
