# Shared Skills

Platform-agnostic skills that work across iOS, macOS, and other Apple platforms. This category provides foundational tools for extending Claude Code's capabilities.

## When This Skill Activates

Use this skill when the user:
- Wants to create a new Claude Code skill
- Asks about skill structure or organization
- Wants to improve or refactor existing skills
- Needs help with skill modularization
- Asks about skill best practices or templates

## Available Modules

Read relevant module files based on the user's needs:

### skill-creator/
Templates and guidance for creating well-structured Claude Code skills.
- Skill structure and organization patterns
- YAML front matter configuration
- Modularization strategies
- Templates for simple and complex skills
- Best practices and common pitfalls

## How to Use

1. Identify user's need from their question
2. Read relevant module files from subdirectories
