Customer Artifact Generation with Claude Code: SKILL.md Template
A production playbook for customer artifact generation in cross-industry operations using Claude Code: skill.md template, run-scoped inputs, logs, typed results, and artifacts.
Audience: Product teams delivering reports or spreadsheets
The problem
Product teams delivering reports or spreadsheets need customer artifact generation to run repeatedly against source data, templates, and delivery requirements. 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 source data, templates, and delivery requirements 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 customer artifact generation, 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 customer artifact generation using Claude Code.
Read only /skill/.argo/inputs.
Write artifacts to /skill/output/artifacts.
Return argo.result.v1 with body.type = "artifact_generation".
Run this on Argo
