Create a new Claude Code agent skill by generating a skill folder under skills/ with a SKILL.md file containing required frontmatter (name and description fields). The Skill automates folder scaffolding and metadata generation to ensure consistency across your skill collection.

A Claude Code skill requires a folder under skills/ with SKILL.md at the root. The SKILL.md file must include frontmatter validation for name and description, plus a reusable body structure covering context, rules, examples, anti-patterns, and output format. Optional subfolders can hold examples or templates.

Yes. The Skill provides optional templates and example structures that you can include in subfolders within your skill directory. These templates follow the enforced SKILL.md format and help you build skills consistently without writing boilerplate from scratch.

Frontmatter validation enforces mandatory name and description fields in SKILL.md. If either field is missing, the Skill will not proceed with folder creation, ensuring all skills meet the minimum metadata requirements for the forge.

Manual folder creation is error-prone and inconsistent. This Skill automates scaffolding, applies frontmatter validation, and enforces SKILL.md format with all required sections, reducing setup time and preventing malformed skill definitions.
