Chooses the right FORMAT for instructions on Claude.ai — project instructions, a skill, or a standalone prompt — and gives the format-specific structure once chosen. Use when the question is which container an instruction belongs in ("should this be a skill or project instructions", "where do I put this", "how do I set up this project", "is this worth a skill"), or when someone has instructions and does not know how to package them. For the writing principles that apply inside any of the three formats, use writing-instructions. For building, testing and packaging a complete skill directory, use creating-skill.
