ck:skill-creator

To create Claude Code skills, you start by generating a new skill directory with an initial SKILL.md file and starter resources. The skill-creator workflow validates the required SKILL.md frontmatter fields, such as name and description, before packaging the skill for safe distribution.

Skill benchmarking reports aggregate evaluation results into benchmark.json and benchmark.md files. These reports provide faster analysis by comparing trigger accuracy and graded outcomes against baselines, enabling continuous improvement of the skill's prompts and descriptions.

You package and validate a SKILL.md file by checking its frontmatter for required name and description fields, verifying the directory structure, and bundling optional resources from scripts/, references/, and assets/ directories. This validation process ensures safe distribution of the skill zip.

Skill creation requires a valid root SKILL.md file with frontmatter containing name and description fields. Optional resources can be organized under scripts/, references/, and assets/ directories to support progressive disclosure, deterministic scripts, and bundled references within the skill package.

Progressive disclosure in Claude skill workflows is a refinement strategy that optimizes metadata first to ensure the skill activates, then improves the SKILL.md instructions and bundled resources. This structured approach ensures reliable triggering before adding complex processing logic.
