skill-creator

Skill-creator automates modular skill unit creation by applying templates, enforcing frontmatter requirements, and scaffolding optional resource directories. This ensures consistent packaging and standardized workflows across projects.

The best way to scaffold reusable resources is running the init_skill.py script. It initializes a new skill directory with common patterns, including optional folders for scripts, references, and assets, ensuring proper resource organization.

Skill packaging requires specific frontmatter in SKILL.md. The templated approach enforces mandatory name and description fields to standardize modular skill unit metadata before running package_skill.py.

To structure skills using common patterns, apply skill-creator templates that guide workflow-based, task-based, or reference-guidelines designs. This standardizes resource organization and enforces progressive disclosure across modular skill units.

You can use yaml dependencies for skill packaging and initialization. The skill-creator tooling relies on yaml to parse and generate templated frontmatter for the SKILL.md configuration files.

A limitation of using templates for modular skill creation is that frontmatter is strictly limited to enforcing name and description fields. Resource directories are optional, so complex custom structures require manual configuration beyond the provided scaffolds.
