create-skill

To create Claude Code skills, run /create-skill to trigger a phased workflow that gathers requirements, chooses a pattern, generates the skill, validates it, and registers it in CLAUDE.md. This enforces structured frontmatter and body consistency across the .claude/skills directory.

You can audit existing Claude Code skills using the audit mode to validate required frontmatter, body structure, and optional auxiliary directories. This checks implementations against governance patterns to maintain a centralized, consistent skill catalog.

The phased workflow for generating skills includes five steps: Determine Type, Gather Requirements, Choose Pattern, Generate, and Validate. This rules-based process enforces required frontmatter and body structure before registering the new skill.

No dependencies are required to start building skills. You can initiate the creation process directly via the /create-skill slash command to enforce frontmatter and body structure without installing external packages.

The best way to maintain consistency across skill implementations is to use the audit mode to validate patterns and enforce required frontmatter. This governance-oriented workflow ensures all skills in the .claude/skills directory follow standardized structures.

Yes, the skill creation workflow supports both user-invocable creation and auto-audit modes. This mode-aware operation allows you to generate new skills or validate existing ones while enforcing the same frontmatter and body structure requirements.
