skill-creator

A SKILL.md file requires YAML frontmatter with name, description, license, and allowed-tools, followed by markdown content. Structure includes directories for scripts, references, and assets organized by function. This ensures compatibility with validation and packaging tooling.

Effective AI skills are concise, context-aware, and use progressive disclosure to manage token efficiency. Design skills with clear scope, modular components, and reusable workflows that extend Claude's capabilities without bloating the context window.

Organize skill resources into SKILL.md for core content, scripts/ for automation logic, references/ for domain knowledge and schemas, and assets/ for templates or supporting files. This structure keeps related content grouped and enables efficient resource discovery.

Yes, skill-creator enforces hyphen-case naming with length constraints and generates compliant YAML frontmatter automatically. Validation tools like quick_validate.py check the generated structure, reducing manual errors in metadata and file organization.

Follow the step-by-step process: understand skill requirements, plan the structure and scope, implement core logic and resources, then package for deployment. This approach ensures skills are modular, token-efficient, and ready for integration with Claude.

No special setup required. Skill-creator applies consistently across domains—workflows, tool integrations, and knowledge bases all follow the same SKILL.md structure, directory layout, and validation requirements for packaging and deployment.
