Documentation Type

Incorrect/outdated documentation

Documentation Location

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins

Section/Topic

Add a skill

Current Documentation

The doc currently says to put following in SKILL.md file

---
description: Greet the user with a friendly message
disable-model-invocation: true
---

Greet the user warmly and ask how you can help them today.

What's Wrong or Missing?

The SKILL.md example is missing the required 'name' field
in the frontmatter. Without it, Claude Code throws error:
"Skill must provide a name"

Suggested Improvement

Add name key also in example. Correct SKILL.md file is

---
name: hello
description: Greet the user with a friendly message
disable-model-invocation: true
---

Greet the user warmly and ask how you can help them today.

Impact

Low - Minor confusion or inconvenience
