💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the uncertainty and guesswork of creating a new Claude Code skill correctly by guiding you through Anthropic’s required structure, routing description, and validation steps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Interactive skill authoring: Collects your use case, purpose, category, trigger phrases, and negative triggers before generating any files.
  • Correct scaffolding: Ensures the folder name matches the name: frontmatter and creates the minimal SKILL.md-first layout (plus optional references/, scripts/, or assets/ when appropriate).
  • Description quality control: Drafts a discovery description that includes both what it does and when to use it, then prompts you to sanity-check routing coverage.
  • Anti-pattern self-review: Runs a checklist aligned to the authoring guide requirements (naming, frontmatter constraints, trigger specificity, size limits, and documentation rules).
  • Install + smoke test workflow: Guides you to deploy to ~/.claude/skills/ and verify the skill fires on intended triggers.

Quick Start

Run /skill-create and describe what new Claude Code skill you want to build and when it should be used, including example trigger phrases.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a Claude Code skill with correct SKILL.md frontmatter and structure?

To create a Claude Code skill, you need a correctly structured SKILL.md file with validated frontmatter, kebab-case naming, explicit trigger phrases, and a routing description stating what it does and when to use it. Interactive scaffolding guides this entire process end to end.

What should I include in the description for Claude Code skill authoring?

Skill authoring requires a discovery description that includes both what the skill does and when to use it. You must also define explicit trigger phrases and negative triggers to ensure accurate routing, while adhering to description length limits.

How do I test a newly installed Claude Code skill to ensure it fires correctly?

To test a newly installed skill, deploy it to the ~/.claude/skills/ directory and run a post-install smoke test. This verifies that the skill fires on its intended trigger phrases and operates correctly within your workflow.

What are the naming constraints when generating a new skill directory?

Generating a skill directory requires kebab-case naming, and the folder name must match the name field in the frontmatter. Prohibited content in the name is flagged during the anti-pattern self-review checklist.

Can I add custom scripts and references when scaffolding a workflow automation skill?

Yes, scaffolding a workflow automation skill supports creating optional references, scripts, and assets directories alongside the minimal SKILL.md layout. These are added when appropriate for your specific automation scenario.
