The 46-Skill Panel: How We Built a Claude Code Skill Library for a 13-Agent System

Claude Code ships with a skills system. Most people use 2-3 skills. We built 46. Here's what we learned about skill architecture at scale. What a Skill Actually Is A skill is a markdown file that gets injected into Claude's context when triggered. The trigger can be a slash command, an event hook, or a session-start reminder. ~/.claude/skills/ ├── commit/SKILL.md ├── review/SKILL.md ├── debug/SKILL.md └──. (43 more) When you type /commit, Claude reads that file and follows the instructions inside. The skill can contain workflows, checklists, tool sequences, or agent handoff templates.
