create-agent-skills

Router pattern design for Claude Skills involves structuring intake and routing logic to handle user inputs and direct them to appropriate handlers. The create-agent-skills Skill provides guidance on architecting this essential pattern, including intake mechanisms and routing rules, within a 500-line SKILL.md framework that enforces pure XML structure and progressive disclosure.

Organize Claude Skill components by grouping references, workflows, templates, and scripts into clearly separated sections within your SKILL.md file. The create-agent-skills Skill enforces structured organization using pure XML, ensuring components are discoverable and maintainable while staying within the 500-line limit.

Yes, the create-agent-skills Skill applies to auditing and modifying existing Skills by validating router patterns, checking component organization, and ensuring SKILL.md adheres to the 500-line limit and XML structure requirements. This enables systematic upgrades to improve routing logic, add workflows, or reorganize references.

A valid Claude Skill requires pure XML structure, a SKILL.md under 500 lines, essential router-pattern components (intake and routing), progressive disclosure, and organized references, workflows, templates, and scripts. The create-agent-skills Skill enforces these validation patterns and provides packaging guidance.

Add new components by integrating them into your router-based architecture with clear routing logic and organized references. The create-agent-skills Skill guides component insertion using pure XML, ensuring new workflows, templates, and scripts integrate cleanly while maintaining the SKILL.md structure and 500-line constraint.

Building from scratch requires planning your router design and initial component structure; upgrading focuses on validating existing patterns, refactoring routing logic, and adding new workflows or references. The create-agent-skills Skill provides structured guidance and validation patterns for both paths, enforcing consistent organization and XML purity.
