skill-builder

Create a new Claude Code Skill by running the skill builder, which scaffolds the complete directory with YAML frontmatter, SKILL.md documentation, and optional components. The tool enforces kebab-case naming, semantic versioning, correct tool references, and dependency constraints while guiding you through interactive setup.

A Claude Code Skill requires YAML frontmatter at the top of SKILL.md defining metadata like name, version, category, and keywords, plus the skill description itself. The builder automatically generates the correct structure with all mandatory fields, ensuring compliance with skill standards and discoverability.

Validate your skill against structural, frontmatter, and content best practices using the automated validation feature. It identifies issues in file organization, metadata correctness, tool permissions, and dependency specifications, returning a detailed report of what needs correction.

Yes, the skill builder handles dependency management by analyzing and validating your skill's dependencies for compatibility and proper versioning. It performs tool-permission checks and ensures dependencies are correctly specified in the frontmatter.

No. The skill builder automates scaffold generation, eliminating manual boilerplate work by creating the complete directory structure, templates, and frontmatter. You focus on skill logic while the builder enforces structural and naming conventions.

Yes, the skill builder applies across both global and project scopes. It handles metadata collection, template loading, and YAML validation for either scope, supporting bulk validation and guided documentation workflows for managing skills at different levels.
