# Example Skill

## Overview

This skill demonstrates the proper structure for Claude Code skills. Skills are model-invoked—Claude uses them
autonomously based on task context.

**When to use:** Describe when Claude should invoke this skill

## Quick Reference

| Phase | Key Activities | Output |
|-------|---------------|--------|

| **2. Execution** | Main task execution | Task results |
| **3. Validation** | Verify results | Validated output |

## Process

### Phase 1: Setup

Steps for initial setup:

1. Verify prerequisites
2. Gather required information
3. Prepare workspace

### Phase 2: Execution

Main execution steps:

1. Execute primary task
2. Handle edge cases
3. Process results

### Phase 3: Validation

Verification steps:

1. Check output quality
2. Verify completeness
3. Confirm success criteria

## Key Principles

- **Principle 1**: Explanation of first principle
- **Principle 2**: Explanation of second principle
- **Principle 3**: Explanation of third principle

## Examples
