skill-creator

Skill Creator provides a SKILL.md template that standardizes skill structure with required frontmatter (name, description), Instructions section, NEVER/ALWAYS guardrails, examples, and optional components. Copy the template, fill in each section following the blueprint, and validate against library quality standards to ensure consistency and usability across the skill library.

Frontmatter requires name and description fields. Guardrails must explicitly define NEVER constraints (prohibited actions) and ALWAYS constraints (required behaviors) to guide consistent skill activation. These sections ensure predictable triggering and prevent misuse across the library.

Yes. Skill Creator applies when drafting new skills or refining the skill library. Use the template to audit existing skills against quality standards, restructure them for consistency, and add missing guardrails or examples to improve usability and predictability.

Required sections are frontmatter (name, description), a complete Instructions section describing the core task, NEVER/ALWAYS guardrails defining constraints and required behaviors, and examples demonstrating expected activation. Optional components directories may be included for modular skill logic.

Consistent structure enables predictable activation, simplifies onboarding for new authors, facilitates skill discovery and integration, and maintains quality standards. Standardized frontmatter, guardrails, and examples make skills immediately usable and reduce ambiguity in how skills trigger and behave.
