SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides a standardized, repeatable process for building Claude skills, including starter SKILL.md templates and resource scaffolds, to reduce boilerplate and ensure consistent quality across skill units.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Skill scaffolding: auto-generates a compliant SKILL.md frontmatter and a starter resource layout with optional scripts/, references/, and assets/ directories.
  • Resource templates: includes example files to illustrate proper organization and reuse in future skills.
  • Packaging & validation: provides scripts to validate skill structure and package a distributable zip for sharing.

Quick Start

Initialize a new skill scaffold with the init script: python scripts/init_skill.py <skill-name> --path <output-dir>. Then validate and package as needed with python scripts/quick_validate.py <skill-dir> and python scripts/package_skill.py <skill-dir> [./dist].

Can I generate optional resource directories like scripts and references when scaffolding a new skill?▼

Yes, skill scaffolding auto-generates optional resource directories including scripts, references, and assets. These directories include example template files to illustrate proper organization and reuse patterns.

What's the best way to reduce boilerplate when creating multiple Claude skill units?▼

The best way to reduce boilerplate is using standardized skill templates that auto-generate compliant SKILL.md frontmatter and starter resource layouts, ensuring consistent quality and reusability across all skill units.
