Skill Creating

Scaffolding a Claude skill creates a structured folder under `.claude/skills` with a gerund-form filename, frontmatter, documentation, and a `resources/` subfolder. This automation ensures consistent structure across all your reusable skills, eliminating manual setup and reducing authoring time.

A new skill includes a `.md` file named after the skill (e.g., `generating-commit-messages.md`), a 2–4 sentence description, minimal workflow instructions, and a `resources/` subfolder for extended references or sample inputs/outputs when depth is needed.

Yes. This skill applies templates to automate the creation process, generating proper naming, frontmatter, documentation, and folder organization so you can author reusable Claude skills consistently without repeating manual steps.

Include a clear 2–4 sentence purpose statement and minimal, actionable workflow guidelines within the skill's `.md` file. Store longer references, samples, or extended documentation in a `resources/` subfolder to keep the primary file focused and readable.

This skill requires Python 3.8 or higher and depends on `context7` and `mcp-api` to automate skill generation. These dependencies handle template processing and metadata configuration to scaffold your skill structure correctly.

Create a `resources/` subfolder inside your skill folder to store lengthy references, sample inputs/outputs, or extended documentation. This keeps your primary skill file concise while maintaining easy access to supplementary material.
