SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Skill Builder helps you create new Claude Code Skills with correct YAML frontmatter and a well-structured SKILL.md so Claude can reliably discover and activate the skill across surfaces.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate production-ready skill scaffolding: Produces a complete SKILL.md with required metadata and clear operational instructions.
  • Enforce spec-compliant YAML frontmatter: Ensures the skill’s name and description meet Claude’s discovery requirements.
  • Apply progressive disclosure structure: Guides you to keep the core skill instructions concise and reference deeper material only when needed.
  • Support project or personal skill locations: Explains how to place skills in ~/.claude/skills/ or .claude/skills/ for project-scoped availability.

Quick Start

Create a top-level directory under ~/.claude/skills/, add a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter containing name and description, then restart Claude Code or refresh Claude.ai to verify the skill is detected.
