Claude Code Skills Runtime
Use this skill for Claude Code runtime behavior. Use plugin-creator:agentskills for portable
frontmatter, package, upload, or cross-client requirements. Use plugin-creator:skill-creator for
the skill-authoring workflow.
Load the reference that matches the current branch:
- Frontmatter, discovery, invocation, substitutions, dynamic injection, forks, preloaded skills,
or metadata budgets: Read
claude-code-skills-official.md.
- Programmatic sessions or direct
/<name> dispatch: Read
headless-agent-sdk.md.
- Skill hooks: Load
plugin-creator:hooks-guide; skill-frontmatter hooks use Claude Code hook
configuration and become active after invocation.
- Plugin packaging and namespace behavior: Load
plugin-creator:claude-plugins-reference-2026.
- Agent teams: Read agent-teams.md.
- Scheduled interactive prompts: Read scheduled-tasks.md.
- Output styles: Read output-styles.md.
Claude Code accepts runtime fields beyond the portable Agent Skills schema. Do not submit those
extensions to a portable package or upload boundary unless that boundary documents them.
