skill-creator

Create a Claude Skill by defining a SKILL.md file, YAML frontmatter with metadata, and bundled resources like scripts and references. Use the skill-creator initialization workflow to generate a template, populate it with your domain knowledge and workflows, then package it for distribution using the included packaging scripts.

A Skill requires SKILL.md content, YAML frontmatter with strict validation rules, and optional bundled resources: scripts for automation, references for domain knowledge, and assets for supporting files. Each component ensures deterministic packaging and reproducible deployments across Claude environments.

Yes. Skills let you extend Claude with specialized workflows, custom tool integrations, and domain-specific knowledge. Define your internal business process as a Skill with custom scripts and reference documentation, making Claude a specialist for your use case without requiring additional development.

Skill specifications enforce strict frontmatter validation, naming conventions, and prohibition of angle brackets in descriptions. The creation workflow ensures alignment with progressive disclosure principles and structured templates, enabling functional requirements and reliable resource bundling.

Use the packaging script to validate your Skill's structure, bundle SKILL.md, frontmatter, scripts, references, and assets into a zip file. This ensures reproducible deployments and distributable artifacts that maintain all functional requirements and resource organization.

New Skill creation follows the full workflow from requirements gathering through packaging. Updating an existing Skill modifies the YAML frontmatter, SKILL.md content, or bundled resources while maintaining the same structure, validation rules, and deterministic packaging approach.
