What problem does it solve?

This skill addresses the need for scalable skill libraries in Kiro/Agent by auto-generating the standard folder layout required for new or improved skills, including SKILL.md frontmatter, a references section for design guidance, and example workflows. It reduces manual setup time, enforces naming conventions, and helps prevent scope creep across a growing library of skills.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Automatically scaffolds a new skill directory with SKILL.md that includes proper frontmatter and structure
• Creates and links a references directory with baseline guidance (examples, patterns, and LAYERS.md) to support exploration
• Validates frontmatter and promotes reuse by standardizing naming and organization for future skills
• Supports modification of existing SKILL.md by applying a consistent blueprint and minimizing drift
• Helps audit for overlap and ensure distinct activation surfaces across the skill library

Quick Start

Provide a target skill name and let the tool generate a complete skill scaffold including SKILL.md and references.
