SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps you design a new Skill Unit that is easy to discover, easy to use, and correctly packaged by providing clear instructions for writing SKILL.md and organizing optional resources.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Skill discovery-ready metadata: Ensures SKILL.md frontmatter includes the required name and description (and stays within validation constraints).
  • Context-efficient instruction authoring: Guides you to keep the SKILL.md body lean while using progressive disclosure.
  • Correct resource organization: Recommends when to add scripts/, references/, and assets/ so Claude can execute deterministic tasks, consult docs, and generate usable outputs.

Quick Start

Use this skill when you need to create or update a Skill Unit and want SKILL.md structured for validation and reliable triggering.

Frequently Asked Questions about skill-creator

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a SKILL.md file for validation and reliable triggering?▼

Skill design requires YAML frontmatter containing name and description fields, plus a body with operational instructions. This metadata ensures consistent structure, progressive context loading, and correct packaging readiness for workflow or capability skills.

What is progressive disclosure in context optimization for skill authoring?▼

Progressive disclosure in context optimization means keeping the SKILL.md body lean while organizing optional resources into scripts/, references/, and assets/ directories. This structure allows Claude to load context efficiently only when needed during execution.

When do I need to add scripts, references, or assets directories to a Skill Unit?▼

Add scripts/ for deterministic task execution, references/ for consulting documentation, and assets/ for generating usable outputs. These optional resources support the SKILL.md body and are recommended based on the skill's operational requirements.

Does YAML frontmatter in SKILL.md have validation constraints I should know?▼

Yes, YAML frontmatter requires name and description fields and must stay within validation constraints. These fields ensure skill discovery readiness and reliable triggering while maintaining correct packaging structure for the Skill Unit.

What's the best way to package a skill for discovery and reliable triggering?▼

The best way to package a skill is to structure SKILL.md with required YAML frontmatter, use progressive disclosure for context optimization, and organize resources into scripts/, references/, and assets/ directories while avoiding extraneous files and unsafe patterns.
