skill-builder

Create a new Claude Skill by defining its purpose, triggers, and structure using guided design. The Skill Builder generates a complete SKILL.md scaffold with YAML frontmatter, optional REFERENCE.md documentation, and script templates, following best practices for discoverability and robustness.

Structure depends on your skill's complexity. The Skill Builder recommends whether to use pure instructions, custom scripts, or reference documentation. It handles frontmatter schema enforcement, description quality, step-by-step instructions, and concrete examples to ensure maintainability.

At minimum, you need SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter containing metadata, description, triggers, and instructions. Optionally add REFERENCE.md for supporting documentation and tooling scripts. The Skill Builder generates all required files following recommended guidelines.

Instruction-based skills require no coding; the Skill Builder guides pure-instruction design. Script-powered skills benefit from development experience, but the builder provides templates and structure to reduce complexity.
