Document Classification with Claude Code: SKILL.md Template
A production playbook for document classification in cross-industry operations using Claude Code: skill.md template, run-scoped inputs, logs, typed results, and artifacts.
Audience: Operations teams routing large file intake
The problem
Operations teams routing large file intake need document classification to run repeatedly against mixed PDFs, emails, attachments, and routing labels. In cross-industry operations, the pain is not one good answer; it is repeatability, auditability, exception handling, and evidence that survives handoff.
Implementation path
Put the operating procedure in SKILL.md, keep examples beside the skill, attach mixed PDFs, emails, attachments, and routing labels per run, and let Argo turn the folder into a repeatable Claude Code execution.
Tradeoffs and failure modes
A skill folder is less flexible than an open chat, but it gives the product a versioned workflow that can be tested and rolled back. For document classification, the practical test is whether a second run can be debugged, retried, and consumed by a product without reading the raw agent transcript.
SKILL.md starter
# SKILL.md
You run document classification using Claude Code.
Read only /skill/.argo/inputs.
Write artifacts to /skill/output/artifacts.
Return argo.result.v1 with body.type = "document_classification".
Run this on Argo
