This skill removes uncertainty and errors when creating new Claude skill directories and SKILL.md files by providing a clear, prescriptive workflow for naming, frontmatter, trigger definition, and instruction structure so contributors produce consistent, discoverable skills.
Create a new kebab-case skill folder and write a SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter including name and a one-sentence description that contains "Use when" trigger phrases and an allowed-tools list.

To create a compliant SKILL.md file, you need YAML frontmatter with a name, a description containing "Use when" trigger phrases, and an allowed-tools field. The skill folder name must be kebab-case to pass validation.
The correct YAML frontmatter format requires a name field, a description field that includes "Use when" trigger phrases, and an allowed-tools list. This frontmatter structure ensures your skill is discoverable and triggers properly.
Trigger phrases for Claude skill instructions are written in the description field of the YAML frontmatter using the "Use when" format. This specifies the exact conditions when the skill should activate during a conversation.
No, you cannot use uppercase letters or spaces in skill folder names. The validation enforces strict kebab-case folder naming, matching the folder name to the frontmatter name, and restricts reserved words to prevent upload errors.
The best way to scaffold a skill directory is following a prescriptive workflow that generates frontmatter, validates kebab-case names, drafts instruction workflows, and applies a final validation checklist to ensure consistency and discoverability.
Skill validation fails when the folder name is not kebab-case, the YAML frontmatter lacks a name or description with "Use when" triggers, or the allowed-tools field is missing. Reserved words in the name also cause upload errors.
