SKILL.md Starter Template
A blank SKILL.md template for Claude with a field-by-field guide, three finished example Skills, a pre-upload checklist and test prompts.
What it does
Gives you a ready-to-fill SKILL.md file and shows what to write in each part, so you can turn one repeating job into a working Claude Skill without starting from a blank page.
Who it's for
Beginners, business owners and freelancers who want to create their first Claude Skill and do not code.
What you need
A text editor, one job you repeat every week, and a Claude account. Uploading a custom Skill needs a paid Claude plan.
What's included
- A blank SKILL.md template
- A field-by-field guide and a description formula with weak and strong examples
- Three finished Skills to copy (meeting notes, blog outline, lead reply)
- A 10-point pre-upload checklist, ZIP layout and test prompts
- A troubleshooting table
How to use it
Copy the blank template into a file named SKILL.md, fill in every [bracket], put it in a folder, zip the folder, upload it in Claude under Customize, then Skills, and test it with the three test prompts.
