How to write a Claude skill body as procedural knowledge a fresh session can run
socialwithaayan · x · 2026-07-24
A thread on writing the actual body of a Claude skill as procedural knowledge.
- The body should be written so a fresh session with no context can execute the process exactly.
- It is organized around purpose, inputs, process, and hard rules.
- The author stresses concrete imperatives over vague advice, so the skill behaves like a production instruction file rather than a prompt note.
