# Create Skill

Create a new Claude Code skill that extends Claude's capabilities. Skills are modular instructions with optional supporting files that Claude can invoke automatically or users can trigger with `/skill-name`.

## Quick Start

```bash
# Interactive mode - guided creation
/create-skill

# Auto mode - create from name
/create-skill pdf-processor
```

## Skill Locations

| Location | Path | Scope |
|----------|------|-------|
| Personal | `~/.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md` | All your projects |
| Project | `.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md` | This project only |

## Creation Process

**Question 2 - Invocation**:
- Header: "Invocation"
- Question: "Who should invoke this skill?"
