# Build Agent-Based Claude Code Skills

Complex skills often produce inconsistent results when one prompt handles every step. This skill guides Claude Code to create reusable skills backed by specialist agents.

## Capabilities

- Explains an eight-step process for designing agent-based skills.
- Defines responsibilities for the skill layer and specialist agent layer.
- Provides TypeScript and Python examples for Claude Agent SDK patterns.
- Shows context handoff, result processing, lifecycle hooks, and validation patterns.
- Includes guidance for packaging, deployment, documentation, and integration testing.

## Use Cases

- Create a reusable developer skill: Design a Claude Code skill that delegates complex work to a focused specialist agent.
- Standardize internal AI workflows: Define consistent skill and agent patterns for teams that build shared automation.
- Design domain-specific agent behavior: Turn expert process knowledge into a structured agent prompt and communication protocol.

## Prompt Templates

### Plan a Basic Skill

```
Help me design a Claude Code skill for [task]. Define the trigger, specialist agent role, and expected output.
```

### Define Context Handoff

```
Create a context handoff protocol for a skill that handles [workflow]. Include inputs, constraints, progress updates, and final results.
```

### Add SDK Implementation Guidance

```
Design an SDK-powered implementation plan for this skill: [description]. Include agents, tools, permissions, lifecycle handling, and validation.
```

### Review a Complete Skill Architecture

```
Review this agent-based skill design for reliability, least privilege, maintainability, and testing gaps: [skill design].
```

## Limitations

- It is guidance and examples, not a complete automated generator.
- SDK examples may need updates for current package APIs.
- It assumes users understand Claude Code skills and agent design.
- It does not verify generated skills for security or correctness by itself.

## Best Practices

- Define the agent role before writing skill instructions.
- Keep the skill layer focused on triggers, context handoff, and result processing.
- Use least privilege for agent tools and test the full handoff.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not put all domain logic in the skill layer.
- Do not grant Bash, Write, or network access without a documented need.
- Do not skip integration tests for the skill and spawned agent.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-05T12:49:57.261\+00:00
- Summary: No evidence of malicious behavior, prompt injection, data exfiltration, or automatic command execution was found. The static findings are false positives from Markdown fences, JavaScript template literals, GraphViz edges, a documentation URL, and standard Claude skills install paths.
