skill-creator

Skill Creator automates the full lifecycle of skill development—from initialization through packaging. Run init_skill.py to scaffold a new skill with SKILL.md frontmatter and templates, customize your resources, then use package_skill.py to bundle and distribute. This eliminates boilerplate and ensures consistent structure across skills.

The scaffold generator creates a ready-to-edit SKILL.md frontmatter, minimal body guidance, and example resource directories (scripts/, references/, assets/). These templates demonstrate how to organize bundled resources and provide a starting point for skill-specific customization.

Yes, Skill Creator requires Python 3 and the included scripts (init_skill.py, package_skill.py, quick_validate.py) to generate SKILL.md and construct a working resource structure. PyYAML is the only additional dependency needed.

Run the quick_validate.py script to check your skill structure and SKILL.md frontmatter before packaging. This catches common issues early and ensures your skill meets the required format and resource organization standards.

Yes, the init_skill.py script generates a template SKILL.md that you edit directly to customize metadata, descriptions, and configuration. The scaffolding provides the structure; you fill in skill-specific details, resources, and logic in each section.

Initialize a skill with init_skill.py to generate SKILL.md and resource directories, add your custom code and assets, validate the structure with quick_validate.py, then package the complete skill with package_skill.py for distribution to the skills library.
