writing-for-agents: Claude Code skill

What it does

How to write skills, CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md files that agents follow well.

The description Claude matches your request against: Writing documents for agents. Use when creating or editing skills, or modifying AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md.

When to use it

You're writing or editing a skill or agent instructions.

How to start it

Automatic, or /writing-for-agents

Claude loads it by itself when your request matches, so you rarely need the command. The suggester plugin also points it out when it fits.

Install

writing-for-agents is part of the writing plugin. Install just that plugin in Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add iatee/claude-skills
/plugin install writing@iatee-skills
/reload-plugins
