SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates setting up a correctly structured Claude Code skill directory so your project’s skills stay consistent and discoverable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Skill directory scaffolding: Creates a new .claude/skills/<kebab-case>/ directory with a root SKILL.md.
  • Correct YAML frontmatter setup: Ensures required metadata like name, description, when_to_use, and allowed-tools is present for discovery.
  • Invocation-ready instructions: Produces clear operational instructions that Claude can follow when the skill is invoked.
  • Use Case: When you need a new project-specific automation step (for example, generating project documentation or validating data), you can create a new command skill that follows the repository’s conventions.

Quick Start

Tell Claude to create the new skill described after this command, following the project’s CLAUDE.md and the instructions in this SKILL.md.
