+
+## What is the psake Claude Skill?
+
+The psake Claude skill is part of our growing collection of LLM tools designed to enhance how developers work with psake. By providing Claude with deep knowledge of psake patterns, syntax, and best practices, the skill enables AI assistants to help you build better automation workflows, troubleshoot issues, and implement complex build scenarios with confidence.
+
+## Key Features
+
+The skill includes four comprehensive knowledge components:
+
+**SKILL.md** – Core psake fundamentals covering command syntax, task definitions, dependencies, and troubleshooting patterns. This ensures Claude understands the basics before diving into more complex scenarios.
+
+**PowerShell Modules Reference** – Detailed guidance on using PowerShellBuild for module development workflows, including task patterns, build configurations, and testing integration.
+
+**Build Types Reference** – Practical patterns for .NET, Node.js, and Docker builds, providing Claude with real-world examples for different project types.
+
+**Advanced Reference** – Coverage of sophisticated topics like dynamic task generation, custom logging implementations, and CI/CD pipeline integration.
+
+## What Can Claude Do With This Skill?
+
+Once you've loaded the psake skill, Claude can assist with tasks like:
+
+- Building complete psakefiles with integrated Pester testing frameworks
+- Establishing build configurations for .NET solutions and PowerShell modules
+- Implementing dynamic task generation from configuration files
+- Troubleshooting build failures and dependency issues
+- Integrating psake workflows into CI/CD pipelines
+- Creating custom logging mechanisms
+- Developing cross-platform build scripts
