skill-builder

Creating a Claude Code skill involves initializing a project with `python scripts/init_skill.py <name> --path <dir>`, completing the SKILL.md frontmatter with metadata, writing the skill body following progressive disclosure patterns, then validating with `quick_validate.py` before packaging.

A Claude Code skill requires SKILL.md with frontmatter metadata (name, description, keywords, author, category), a body section describing the core task and features, and resource directories for scripts, references, and assets organized according to progressive disclosure guidelines.

Validate your skill using `quick_validate.py` to check frontmatter compliance and structure integrity, then run the packaging script to generate a .skill file ready for distribution across Claude Code workflows.

Yes, skill-builder supports Workflow-Based, Task-Based, and Reference-Based patterns. Select the template matching your skill's primary interaction model—workflow automation, discrete task execution, or reference documentation—and apply the corresponding structure and component organization.

Skill-builder requires PyYAML as its only dependency, used to parse and validate frontmatter and configuration during skill initialization, validation, and packaging workflows.

Yes, skill-builder integrates with Claude Code triggers like 'create skill', 'build skill', and 'package skill', supporting the full lifecycle from development through distribution while maintaining compatibility with existing skill ecosystems.
