SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Creating new plugins, skills, or agents in a Claude Code plugin repository requires following strict authoring guidelines, frontmatter conventions, and structural rules that are easy to get wrong when done manually. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Guideline-Driven Scaffolding: Reads SKILL_GUIDELINES.md, plugin authoring references, and research notes before writing any files, ensuring every component follows the 16 skill rules. - Interactive Approval Gate: Presents a component plan (file structure, description, phases, agent dispatch) via AskUserQuestion and loops on feedback until explicit approval before creating files. - Post-Creation Verification: Checks line-count limits, phase file references, agent name consistency, description truncation, and YAML frontmatter validity after writing files. - Use Case: When you need to add a new code-review skill to an existing plugin, invoke this Skill to draft the SKILL.md and phase files, review the plan, and receive a verified, convention-compliant component. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to create a new skill named audit-log in the mz-dev-pipe plugin that tracks pipeline state changes.

Frequently Asked Questions about create

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a new skill in a Claude Code plugin repository?▼

Invoke the create skill with the component type, name, and description, for example 'skill audit-log tracks state changes'. It reads the authoring guidelines, drafts a plan for approval, then writes and verifies the SKILL.md and phase files.

How to scaffold a new agent with correct frontmatter?▼

Pass 'agent <name> <description>' to the create skill. It applies conventions for description, model selection (opus for coding, sonnet for research), effort, maxTurns, and an explicit tools allowlist before writing the agent file.

What rules must a SKILL.md description follow?▼

Descriptions must use directive phrasing such as 'ALWAYS invoke when', third person, WHAT plus WHEN, two to three trigger phrases, and front-load key terms within 250 characters. The create skill enforces these rules during planning and verification.

Can I create files without approving the plan first?▼

No. The skill presents the component plan via AskUserQuestion and only writes files after an explicit 'approve' response. Feedback triggers a revision loop, and 'reject' aborts the process entirely.

What are the file size limits for skills and phase files?▼

SKILL.md must stay within 100-150 lines, and each phase file must remain under 400 lines. The verification step checks these limits along with phase references, agent names, and YAML frontmatter parsing.
