skill-creator

Create a skill by running `scripts/init_skill.py <skill-name>` to generate a template, then edit the SKILL.md file with your domain-specific workflows, add tool integrations and bundled resources, and package it using `scripts/package_skill.py`. This generates a distributable skill that extends Claude's capabilities.

A Claude skill requires YAML frontmatter with name and description, a SKILL.md file containing instructions and examples, and optional scripts, references, and assets directories. This modular structure enables scalable packaging and deployment across different domains.

Yes, use `scripts/package_skill.py` to automatically validate your skill folder and generate a distributable zip file. The validation ensures your skill meets the required YAML frontmatter, Markdown formatting, and progressive disclosure standards for deployment.

Creating a new skill generates a fresh template with metadata and structure; updating an existing skill modifies its SKILL.md content, metadata, or bundled resources. Both workflows use the same initialization and packaging scripts to maintain consistent skill architecture.

You need to structure Markdown content and understand your domain, but the skill-creation templates and guided workflow handle most technical setup. Python scripts handle validation and packaging; no advanced programming is required to create domain-specific skills.

Add scripts, references, and assets directories to your skill folder during initialization, populate them with your resources, then run `scripts/package_skill.py`. The packaging process bundles everything into a single distributable zip file supporting modular deployment.
