 Skills in nested `.claude/skills/` directories below your starting directory aren't loaded at startup. They load the first time Claude reads or edits a file inside that subdirectory, and stay available for the rest of the session. For example, after Claude edits a file under `packages/frontend/`, skills in `packages/frontend/.claude/skills/` become available. Until then, those skills don't appear in autocomplete and can't be invoked by name.
 
-Each skill is a directory with `SKILL.md` as the entrypoint:
-
-```text theme={null}
-my-skill/
-├── SKILL.md           # Main instructions (required)
-├── template.md        # Template for Claude to fill in
-├── examples/
-│   └── sample.md      # Example output showing expected format
-└── scripts/
-    └── validate.sh    # Script Claude can execute
-```
-
-The `SKILL.md` contains the main instructions and is required. Other files are optional and let you build more powerful skills: templates for Claude to fill in, example outputs showing the expected format, scripts Claude can execute, or detailed reference documentation. Reference these files from your `SKILL.md` so Claude knows what they contain and when to load them. See [Add supporting files](#add-supporting-files) for more details.
-
 <Note>
-  Files in `.claude/commands/` support the same [frontmatter](#frontmatter-reference), except `name` and `paths`, which Claude Code ignores in a command file. You invoke a command file by its file name. Skills are recommended since they support additional features like supporting files.
